To Register a vehicle in Guernsey the following criteria has to be met:

The vehicle must be in Guernsey.
•
The vehicle must have been declared at, and cleared through, Guernsey Customs.
•
The vehicle must be primarily for circulation on the roads of Guernsey.
•
The registered owner of the vehicle must be a resident of Guernsey
•
If your vehicle is over 7'6¾" in width and/or over 31' in length then it is classed as an
"oversize" vehicle in Guernsey. Please be aware that these vehicles cannot be freely
circulated around the Island. You will have to apply for an oversize vehicle permit from the
Traffic Office.
•
Please note that if your vehicle is a camper van you will need permission from the Planning
Division of the Environment Department to register the vehicle.
At the time of Registration you will have to produce:
•
A completed 'Application to Register a Motor Vehicle / Motorcycle' Form available from our
Vehicle Registration and Licensing Department.

The vehicle's security form (V55/1-4) must be surrendered. This document is produced by
the vehicle manufacturer. If the vehicle is a used (second hand) vehicle imported into the
Island it is necessary to produce the vehicle's original and current registration document. If
the name in which the vehicle is to be registered is different from the last registered name
on the vehicle documents then continuity of registered ownership must be shown, such as a
bill of sale.

A one-off registration fee of £40.00 is payable on all first-time registrations in Guernsey.
