Presenter ID requirement
Page Content
If you are bringing a vehicle for a Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Test (CVRT) you
must produce Identification
. If you don’t then the Certificate of Roadworthiness (CRW) will not issue for a vehicle which successfully completes the test, until the required ID is produced.
Why do I need to bring I.D.?
Recording presenter IDs helps us
ensure higher quality testing
and makes it
easier to follow-up on issues
. It can provide important information, to
help identify and investigate unusual patterns
of activity relating to test quality or outcomes. The application of these measures also acts as a
deterrent to fraudulent activity
in relation to the CVRT.
The Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness (Vehicle Testing) (No.2) Regulations 2013 (PDF)
provide the legal basis under which required identification may be sought.
What sort of I.D. is required?
The test centre will ask for either your
drivers licence or passport
. You should have your drivers licence with you as it's against the law to drive a vehicle without a drivers licence.
Does this mean that only the owner can present the vehicle for a test?
No. It simply means that
whoever you nominate to bring your vehicle for a test
must produce their drivers licence or passport.
What happens if the presenter forgets to bring ID.?
If you forget to bring ID then the
test centre can still carry out the test
on the vehicle. However, if the vehicle successfully completes the test, you’ll
need to go back to the test centre as soon as possible with valid ID
so the CRW can be released.
You should be aware that where you
do not produce Presenter ID
, the
CRW will not be issued
. You will
not be able to tax your vehicle
if your vehicle does not already have an in date and valid CRW.
If I don’t have Presenter ID, will I get proof that the vehicle has completed the test?
A
test report will be issued to you
when the test is complete. The issuing of the CRW will be placed on-hold until you return with the required ID.
What will be recorded by the test centre?
The test centre will
record your name, type of identification presented and the relevant unique number on identification
. Please note your data is safe and data recording is carried out in line with data protection obligations.
