The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) is responsible for motoring issues relating to the taxation, licensing and registration of millions of vehicles on UK roads today. The DVLA is entitled to carry out criminal prosecutions for certain offences. The most common of these offences is failing to notify them of a change of keeper for a vehicle.
It’s come to our attention that clients are being held liable for paying a separate fine under the Continuous Insurance Enforcement (CIE) programme when they haven’t informed the DVLA after a vehicle changes ownership. Submitting evidence of proof of sale before the Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) was issued won’t be accepted by the DVLA and the fine will need to be paid.
