How to get a chassis number from dvla

[jason 82]

Sorry Stot, I didn't want it to bite you in the ass ! The new department head is Donna Kennet, and her number is
01792 782069. It's her direct line, no switchboards or nothing ! She seems really clued up ! Hope that this helps everybody !

usually if its issued by the dvla it starts SABTVR*************

I Received my chassis number last week, I used the standard letter, sent it to Cardiff local office and received a letter 4 weeks later from Swansea starting DVLASWA along with all the forms required for registration.

Like I said , it's a brand new system now Ash, we are not allowed to make up our own chassis numbers now either, only manufacturers can do it. That's why I put the telephone number & the new address up , as there is that much red tape around the subject, just thought I would clarify the situation, to make the paperwork easier.

the start of thease SABTVR numbers where tied to a local dvla office from what i was told by my local office.

all chassis numbers issued from a dvla local office start the same digits and my iva tester could tell straight off where my chassis number was issued from as it was local office to his testing station.

there all done centrally now so maybe diffrent now?

LVLO used to use that number for all rebuilt after accident cars that were written off prior to the use of Cat c and d etc
