<Text>This section amends <Abbreviation Expansion="Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 c. 22">VERA</Abbreviation> to allow the particulars to be included in the register of vehicles held by the <Abbreviation Expansion="Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency">DVLA</Abbreviation> and <Abbreviation Expansion="Driver and Vehicle Licensing Northern Ireland">DVLNI</Abbreviation> to be prescribed by regulations and such particulars may relate to the vehicle itself or its keeper. The provision of these particulars can be required of a person before being issued with a vehicle licence. These particulars can also be required of a vehicle keeper (not just of a buyer or seller as currently) and the providing of these particulars may be required at any time. The issue of a registration document may be refused if these particulars are not provided.</Text>

This information will also include the odometer reading (recorded mileage) of the vehicle where it is fitted with such a device and the keeper's date of birth.</Text>
