An important update from the DVSA
If you’re planning to tow a trailer abroad, there’s a new addition to the official guidance you need to know about.
October 2025, the Goods Vehicle Operator Licensing Guide now includes a link to check whether you need to register your trailer before towing it internationally.
This update is especially relevant for operators crossing borders with heavier trailers or those used commercially. Don’t get caught out—make sure you’re compliant before you travel.
What you need to do:
- Review the updated guidance in the licensing guide.
- Use the new link to check trailer registration requirements for your destination.
- Ensure all documentation is in order before departure.
Being proactive now can save you time, money, and hassle later. Don’t get caught out—stay compliant and confident on the road
