DVLA Tax Check

A DVLA Tax Check helps you find out if a car's road tax is up to date. It makes sure the car is legally allowed to drive on the road.

It’s easy to check your car’s tax online with DVLA Tax Check. Just type in your car’s registration number, and you’ll see if the tax is valid, expired, or needs renewing.

Checking road tax is important because driving without it is illegal. You can get fined, your insurance might be invalid, and your car could even be clamped or towed.

A DVLA Tax Check shows the tax status, the expiry date, how much the tax costs, and if the car is registered as off the road (SORN).

SORN stands for 'Statutory Off Road Notification.' It means the car isn’t being driven or kept on public roads. If your car is SORN, you don’t need to pay road tax.

No, driving with expired tax is against the law. You can only drive a car to a pre-booked MOT test if its tax has expired.

You should check your car’s tax status before the renewal date every year. It’s also smart to check when buying a used car to make sure it’s taxed properly.

If you don’t renew your road tax, you could get fined, and your car could be clamped or towed. Late payments might also come with extra charges.

Use a DVLA Tax Check to see if the car’s tax is up to date. Just enter the registration number, and you’ll know instantly if it’s ready to drive legally.
