All authorised examiners (AEs), nominated testers (NTs) and other vehicle testing station (VTS) staff need to sign up for email alerts to keep themselves up to date about MOT modernisation.
You should give as many of your business details as possible - especially your user ID, job title and VTS number - during the sign-up process. This will help DVSA to make sure you get the information you need about the switchover to the new service.
