DVLA says RAV up, running and well received

The DVLA has announced that its Register a Vehicle (RaV) service has passed its public beta assessment and is now available on GOV.UK.

RaV has replaced the old Automated First Registration and Licensing (AFRL) service and is used by manufacturers and retailers to register new vehicles.

“This is a huge milestone for us in transforming our vehicle first registration services and as we explained in our last blog, it’s been a successful multi-team effort,” the latest blog says.

“We have successfully migrated more than 150 motor manufacturers and more than 5000 retailers to RaV, and have registered just over 1.3 million brand new vehicles.

“Our user feedback for RaV has been extremely positive.”

“We’ll keep on gathering feedback from people who use the service so we can continue to adapt to the industry’s ever-changing needs.

“We’re always looking to improve the service, adding extra functionality to enhance user journeys and make sure we meet our customers’ needs.”
