01

Identify charge and period

Copy vehicle, account holder and licensing period; use another service if it is a different charge.
What should you prepare?

Demand; payment notice or system message.

Please note

A driving-licence payment is not a vehicle-licence payment.

02

Check the current record

Use the renewal service to check amount and status; the official page says the system amount prevails over a different printed notice.
What should you prepare?

Vehicle and owner details.

Please note

Do not rely only on an old notice.
