My certificate has expired. What should I do now?
It may be possible to get your certificate renewed. It's at the discretion of the DVLA. The less time that has elapsed since the expiry date the higher the chance of a renewal. A week or so should not cause a problem, though there is no guarantee.
If you are named as the purchaser on the certificate you can send it straight to the DVLA in Swansea. Otherwise you will have to send it back to the original purchasers, in this case us. Either way, you should include a cover note explaining why the certificate had not been renewed. It's best to avoid claiming that you forgot, as the DVLA will be looking for something more substantial. You must include the renewal fee of £25. Cheques should be made payable to 'DVLA'.
