The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), has issued a strong warning to drivers and vehicle owners, urging them to renew their driver's licenses and roadworthy certificates promptly on their respective due dates.
The Authority emphasised that failure to comply with this directive will result in individuals being subjected to the relevant fines as specified by law.
It also served as a reminder to drivers and vehicle owners the sanctions outlined in the Fees and Charges Instrument 2015 (L.I 220).
In a statement released on Tuesday, January 23, the DVLA urged all customers to take proactive measures to renew their driver’s licenses and roadworthy certificates well in advance of their expiration dates.
“Driver License holders and vehicle owners who fail to renew their licenses and roadworthy certificates on or before the expiry dates as indicated on their documents shall be made to pay for the appropriate delinquency charges as provided for, in the Fees and Charges Instrument 2015 (L.I 220),” an excerpt of the statement read.
The DVLA recommended that motorists whose vehicles may not be in use during the stipulated validity period for roadworthiness should apply to the Licensing Authority to cancel the Vehicle Registration Certificate.
“DVLA further wishes to inform customers that Regulation 15 (1) of the L.I 2180 provides that “where a motor vehicle is not in use during the stipulated validity period for roadworthiness, a person may apply to the Licensing Authority to cancel the Vehicle Registration Certificate and issue the applicant with a Lay-Off Certificate.”
