If you want to keep your vehicle off the road, you’ll need to make a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) instead of renewing the vehicle tax.

This applies if you’re going to keep your vehicle in a garage, on a drive, or on private land. Don’t worry – we can help with this too. Just bring in your V11 form to any of our vehicle licensing Post Office branches.
