New EU Vehicle Registration Certificate replaces the familiar VRD
A new design of vehicle registration document has been brought in by DVLA called the Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C) which replaces the Vehicle Registration Document (V5) or VRD we are all familiar with in the UK. The new certificate or VRC has been designed to comply with a European Directive to harmonise Vehicle Registration Certificates across the EU. They have been issued since January 2004 and will gradually replace the current VRD.

The first thing you notice when you look at a new VRC is that it is now four pages rather than a simple double-sided sheet and it comes with a 19 page booklet of Guidance Notes (INS160) - that's EU progress for you!
