When
your vehicle is ready for the IVA test, you should submit
the correct type of IVA application form to the Vehicle
and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) if applying in Great
Britain, or the Driver Vehicle Agency in Northern Ireland.
Application forms can be obtained from the VOSA website
or telephone the VOSA Helpline on 0300 123 9000 . You
can also email VOSA to request forms at enquiries@vosa.gov.uk.
Your
vehicle can be inspected at a select list of VOSA test
stations around the country. Alternatively you may wish
your examination to be carried out at a privately owned
test facility (POTF) formerly known as a designated
premise (DP). These are privately owned sites authorised
by VOSA and at which VOSA conduct IVA inspections.
It
is important to make sure that you enclose all relevant
documents to support your application because you may
experience unnecessary delays if you do not supply everything
that is needed. Fully completed forms, supporting documents
and correct payment should be sent to:
Vehicle
and Operator Service Agency
Approval Section
Ellipse
Padley Road
Swansea
SA1 8AN
Your
application will be assessed, and sent to your chosen
VOSA test station once successfully processed.
VOSA
aims to provide 95 per cent of IVA customers with an
inspection within four weeks of receipt of a correctly
completed application form. Inspection appointments
are allocated by the chosen test station, not by VOSA
Swansea.
