Question

How long does it take to get a vehicle's weight changed?

Answer

Once we have been provided with all of the relevant details and the appropriate payment, we can usually have your documents prepared within 2-3 days. If you follow the instructions on the guidance notes we will provide you and send your documents to the DVLA by Special Delivery, they will typically issue a new, updated logbook within 35-45 days (but please note this can vary and we have no control over this). 

If you are looking to change the weight of a horsebox or commercial vehicle, this is a different process which goes through the DVSA and processing times may be longer.
