At the time of writing the fee for this is \u00a355.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ll also need to send in documents to prove your name and address.<\/li>\n<li>The final item they will need from you is a Certificate of Conformity. (only needed if your vehicle is under 10 years old)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Print out our handy checklist and you can tick everything off as you go, so you won\u2019t miss anything out.<\/p>\n<p>Have all this information ready and you\u2019ll certainly save yourself some time and you\u2019ll have your new car on the UK roads in no time.
