The Driver and Vehicle Agency Northern Ireland (DVANI), is the
agency responsible for maintaining the database of drivers and vehicles
in Northern Ireland.
The Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA), is the agency responsible
for maintaining the database of drivers and vehicles in Mainland
Britain. The DVLA, which is based in Swansea, is also the body responsible
for issuing motor vehicle registrations and setting out regulations
for personalised number plates.
When transferring a registration from one vehicle (or a certificate)
to another vehicle, there is a transfer fee to pay. This covers
the administrative time for the DVANI (or DVLA) to handle the paperwork.
In order to transfer vehicle registrations, the paperwork has to
be either posted or taken to one of the local DVLA offices around
the UK. The list of current mainland UK offices is shown below,
along with their contact phone number. The DVLA office will process
the paperwork for you there and then if you take it in to them and
often it is a next day turnaround if you post it in to them.
