Motorists must verify all personal and address particulars with any motor vehicle or driving licence transaction.
What this means is that any person or body of persons (companies or organisations) must submit proof of full names, ID or business number and residential and postal address before any registering authority can issue a motor vehicle licence disc or operator card.
This new regulation will have a direct effect on:
- The procedure for the change of particulars of a registered manufacturer, builder, or importer.
- The procedure for the change of particulars of a title holder or owner of a registered motor vehicle.
- The procedure for the change of particulars of a holder of a motor trade number.
- The manner of notification of a new residential and postal address, specifically relating to driving licence holders.
- The application for, and issue of, a traffic register number and certificate.
The new regulations will require each person to provide proof of particulars (full names and ID number) and residential and postal addresses for verification when there's a change of person particulars or change of address or with the first an application that's being made for a NaTIS service at a registering authority or driving licence testing centre.
