Vehicle licensing services from Jan 2010 onwards
( 6 Articles )
The vehicle licensing service has changed from 4th January 2010. This service is no longer administered by the NCTS test centre network, but has transferred to a new network of 37 regional centres operated by SGS Ireland on behalf of the Commission. The key changes are:
A simplified application and renewal processes
-
Dedicated inspectors who are expert in all aspects of vehicle licensing rules and processes
-
A Licence Renewal Assessment will be required as part of the renewal process. Until 6th April 2010 this will not include a Pass/Fail decision: instead it will be an advisory service. After 6th April 2010 licences will only be renewed if this Licence Renewal Assessment is passed.
-
An appointment-led service including set times, with appointments for licensing services guaranteed
-
The NCT road-worthiness test must be carried out separately to the SPSV licensing process and booked through the existing NCTS test centre network
-
New vehicles no longer require an NCT certificate. “New” means less than 3 months old AND less than 3000km travelled.
-
It will be mandatory for wheelchair accessible licence holders to register their details as part of licensing.
-
Further information on changes to the service and how they may affect you can be found in the documents available to view online or for download.
