COVID-19: Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) update


COVID-19: Individual Vehicle Approval (IVA) update

On 27 April 2020, we introduced a priority system to allow a limited number of vehicles not classed as ‘essential’ to the coronavirus (COVID-19) response to obtain an approval.

From 4 July, we will have the capacity to deal with more IVA applications.

Priority system to continue

To help us to do this, we will still carry out IVA work according to the priority list already published.

Inspections are taking place with additional procedures to help prevent the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Customer sites which are used for inspections should adhere to the latest government guidance on COVID-19.

Updates to the priority inspection form

You will need to complete and submit the updated priority inspection application form as well as the IVA application form for your vehicle type.

The updates cover:

  • remote inspections
  • vehicles which need to be declared decontaminated

If you have already applied for a priority inspection, you may be contacted to provide more details.
