Privacy Policy
When you use Tax My Motor, personal information may be collected, used, stored and protected so the vehicle tax process can work properly. That includes information submitted during the vehicle tax process, the payment stage, support-related contact, and technical tools that keep the website working properly.
You should know what information may be involved and why before you continue.

Information the Site May Collect
Information may include your registration number, vehicle details returned during the lookup process, name, email address, telephone number, address details, order status information, and anything else you choose to provide while completing the application flow. If you return to a saved application, session and resume data may also be used so you can continue where you left off.
Technical information may also be collected, such as browser type, device type, and page activity where analytics are enabled. This helps the website function properly and helps identify technical problems or points where users may be getting stuck.
How the Information Is Used
Information is used to operate the service, verify vehicle details, move users through the form and checkout flow, confirm payments, send service-related updates, and maintain order or application records. It may also be used for security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting and service improvement.
Where analytics are enabled, those measurements may also be used to understand site traffic and improve usability and performance.
Payments and Third-Party Providers
Payments are handled through secure third-party payment providers. Tax My Motor does not need to store full card details in order to present or complete the payment stage. Third-party services may also be used for hosting, email delivery, analytics, database services and vehicle data lookup where needed to operate the website.
Those providers only receive the information reasonably needed for the role they perform.
Cookies, Sessions and Storage
The site may use cookies, browser storage and similar technologies to keep the application flow working, remember progress, manage sessions and support analytics. Without essential session storage, some parts of the service may not work as intended.
You can manage cookie behaviour through your browser settings, although restricting all storage technologies may reduce site functionality.
Security, Retention and Your Rights
Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect the information processed through the website. No online service can guarantee absolute security at all times, but care is taken to keep information controlled and limited to what is reasonably needed.
Depending on applicable law, you may have rights relating to access, correction, deletion, objection, restriction or complaint in relation to personal data. If you need practical guidance before using the service, see the contact and support page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers for the practical questions that come up before you decide whether to continue.
Built for quick decisions
Move from uncertainty to action without working through pages of filler.
Can I tax my vehicle online?
Yes. In most cases you can tax your vehicle online if the record is in order and the usual legal requirements, such as MOT and insurance where relevant, are met.
Can I tax a car without a V5C?
Sometimes, yes. A missing logbook does not always stop you, but it depends on the vehicle record and the information available.
Is Tax My Motor the DVLA?
No. Tax My Motor is an independent vehicle tax assistance service and is not part of the DVLA or the government.
How long does it take?
The online steps usually only take a few minutes once you have confirmed the vehicle and are ready to continue.
Do I need a DVLA reminder letter?
Not always. A reminder letter is useful, but some drivers can still move forward using other valid vehicle details.
Need help before using the service?
Read the support pages or return to the homepage when you are ready to begin the vehicle lookup.
How it works
Check the registration, confirm the vehicle, choose the option, then complete the secure online journey with a clear confirmation at the end.
