Motor Vehicles: Registration
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many and what proportion of vehicle registered keepers have provided a PO Box as an address.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) does not allow individual vehicle keepers to use a PO Box address to register their vehicles. Fleet companies are able to use a PO box address but this must always be accompanied by the full and verifiable postal address. This supports vehicle accuracy and the traceability of registered keepers. The DVLA is unable to identify the number of vehicle records with a PO box number as part of the address as the data is filtered by post code.
The DVLA has not issued any fines to people who failed to update their vehicle registration certificate or driving licence in the last five years.
