Change Of Vehicle Details
Taxable Weight

If the weight of your vehicle has been changed we will need documentary evidence - e.g. Written confirmation from the Vehicle Convertor or Plating certificate. Please complete Section 7 of the Registration Certificate V5C(NI) with the relevant details and forward the Certificate and evidence to DVLNI. The change of weight may alter the amount of vehicle licence duty payable, you may need to apply for an exchange licence on form V17(NI) available at any LVLO or at DVLNI Headquarters.

New Fuel Type
If the fuel type of your vehicle has been changed please complete Section 7 of the Registration Certificate V5C(NI) and send with a letter (on headed paper) from the garage who carried out the work.
Change of Tax Class
To change your Tax class e.g. (Private light goods to Disabled), you will have to tax the vehicle in the new tax class. The documents required are form V10(NI), Registration Certificate V5C(NI), insurance certificate/cover note, MOT certificate if needed and disabled exemption certificate. If there are any full months left on your tax disc you can apply for a refund.
If changing from (Disabled to Private light goods) you will have to send documents as above and the licence fee.
