Using DVLA lookup to auto-fill vehicle details

Save time by letting KAIRO pull vehicle details directly from the DVLA database.

When adding a new vehicle, enter the registration number in the reg field.

Click "Look up" or press Enter.

KAIRO queries the DVLA and fills in:

Make and model

Year of manufacture

Colour

Fuel type

Engine size

CO2 emissions

MOT expiry date

Tax status

Vehicle class — DVLA doesn't know your fleet categories, so you'll need to set the class manually (E-Class, S-Class, etc.).

Insurance — Insurance details aren't available from DVLA. Enter these manually.

PHV licence — Private hire vehicle licence details must be added separately.

If lookup fails, the registration may not be in the DVLA database yet (new vehicles) or may be a non-UK plate.

You can always enter details manually if the lookup doesn't find a match.
