Registering a car after IVA inspection

[Claudia Skies]

As per the title - once an imported car has had its IVA inspection, how long does it take DVLA to complete the registration so you can start using it in the road?

Any guidance appreciated.

Uusally within a week, number plate cert arrives first & away you go, then V5 some time after that. Though it now all at the mercy of the DVLA feckwits so dont quote me!

Within a week
They were promising an SLA of a 2 week turnaround, that then got degraded to "we aim to..."
Might be better in the winter, but registrations after IVA last year, mine included, seemed to be running at 4-6 weeks.
Still you might be lucky

Thanks guys, that's very useful information.

Seems you're about right - painfully slow.
