Details

The TIR system allows UK customs officials to pack and seal goods before they’re transported outside the EU. The load won’t need to be inspected by customs officials at border crossings.

Use this form to apply to have:

  • individual vehicles inspected for the first time, or to have an inspection every 2 years
  • all vehicles approved under a design-type inspected every 2 years

How to apply

Apply at least one month before the vehicle needs to be inspected.

  1. Download and fill in the application form.

  2. Save the application form on your computer.

  3. Send the application form to the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) using the service to apply for a vehicle test.

  4. Pay the application fee by credit or debit card (DVSA will contact you to do this after you’ve applied) or using a pre-funded account.

Your application can be delayed if you do not fill in the application form correctly.

You can also send the application by post. You can pay by cheque or postal order made out to ‘DVSA’.
