Applying for vehicle replacement documents: change to paying
When applying for replacement vehicle testing and plating documents and want to pay by credit or debit card, you'll now need to phone DVSA to make the payment.

The process

  1. Fill in the relevant application form for replacement documents, such as:
    1. replacement HGV plating and testing documents (VTG59)
    2. replacement PSV fitness and testing certificates (VTP59)
    3. replacement IVA approval (IVA5)
  2. Use the appropriate online service, such as:
    1. apply for a vehicle test certificate for a heavy goods vehicle
    2. apply for a vehicle test certificate for a heavy good vehicle
    3. apply for Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA)
  3. Attach the completed PDF form to the application and send it.
  4. You'll get an email telling you how to pay by credit or debit card.
  5. Phone the number in the email to make the payment.

Further information

The fees are not changing.

This change doesn't affect other types of applications, for example, for a first HGV test.
