The start point for the best source of fleet information |
The DVLA is developing a V5C on demand service as part of its transformation of its online services.

The Government body said the design and development of both the V5C tool and VVR has been in conjunction with the fleet industry.
The VVR service will be available in March and the V5C on demand service will be released as a public beta at the end of March.
Fleets wanting to join the DVLA's fleet scheme can do so for free but need to have more than 50 vehicles in their fleet.
Fleets must provide a formal written request to join the DVLA fleet scheme along with the V5C's of all their vehicles to be included in the scheme.
Once fleets have provided details of their fleet of vehicles to the DVLA, the organisation allocates a fleet number, which is a unique identifier for use with a company's address.
The fleet number is added to all V5Cs of vehicles within that company's fleet. DVLA maintain the fleet list to make sure name, address and contact details are up to date.
