Form V888 Request by an Individual for Information About a Vehicle - United Kingdom

How to Fill Out Form V888?

There are two options for applicants: you can learn the details of your current or former vehicle or find out the details of the third party and their car. Select the appropriate option by ticking the box on the first page of the request and start completing the form in accordance with the guidelines. Here is how you should prepare a DVLA V888 Form if your goal is to obtain information about your vehicle or a car registered in your name in the past:

1. Enter your personal information (your full name, address, telephone number, and email address). If you have used other names and addresses when registering a vehicle with the DVLA, you need to indicate these as well.
2. Tick the box to confirm you are requesting information about the vehicle you own at the moment or owned before.
3. List the details of the vehicle you are requesting information about - state its registration number, model, and make. You need to specify why you are filing this request and how you are planning to use the information provided to you after the form is processed.
4. Confirm the statements in the document are true and correct to the best of your knowledge. Indicate your title and full name. Sign and date the request.

In case you are filling out the V888 Form (Request for Information) to learn about the third party (the registered owner of the vehicle that has never belonged to you) follow these steps:

1. Record your full name and contact information. The DVLA may have to reach out to you to clarify certain details.
2. Choose one of the options to indicate what kind of request you are submitting. You can file an inquiry about the vehicle if your property or vehicle was damaged as a result of an incident if the vehicle was left on your property, if you are acting as executor of the will, or if you were granted permission to learn about the vehicle as a result of a court judgment.
3. Enter the details of the vehicle in question and write down why do you need this information. Certify the request contains correct details, state your name and title, sign and date the document.
