Northern Ireland DVA Offices Close
The Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) has finally closed, meaning people in Northern Ireland will no longer be able to tax or register vehicles at DVA offices locally.
The announcement follows the decision to relocate the services to Swansea in Wales. From Monday 21 July, people who wish to tax or register their vehicles must do it online or at a post office.
The DVLA in Swansea is to take over full responsibility for all vehicle licensing services from Monday 21 July.
However, some DVA functions remain unaffected by the Swansea move:
• driver licensing
• driver and vehicle testing
• bus and taxi licensing
• roadside compliance checks.
The identity checking service for applicants for driving licences currently provided at motor tax offices, will be available from Monday 21 July at Driver Licensing HQ, County Hall, Coleraine and at the following test centres:
• Armagh
• Ballymena
• Belfast
• Downpatrick
• Enniskillen
• Derry
• Omagh.
