Registered Keeper UK protects you from the worst parts of motoring: endless PCNs from councils and private companies, bailiffs, court threats, and enforcement stress.
We take over your vehicle’s legal registration responsibilities, so you stay fully insured, fully taxed, fully protected, and completely free to drive.
Here’s exactly how we do it.
🎯 In simple terms:
Registered Keeper UK is the new way to protect yourself from unfair parking fines, court threats, and unnecessary stress while keeping your vehicle fully road-legal at all times.
This page will explain how every part of being registered keeper will be handled.
Summary of how it works:
✅ We become the registered keeper of your vehicle managing your DVLA registration, road tax payments, and MOT reminders.
✅ You remain the insured driver, legally able to drive and responsible for complying with UK road laws (no speeding, no accidents, no driving without insurance).
✅ Any Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) or enforcement letters come directly to us, not to you.
✅ We handle, appeal, or destroy unfair PCNs, so you stay protected, stress-free, and bailiff-free.
✅ You continue to drive your vehicle as normal but with total legal and administrative protection working quietly behind the scenes.
👤 Who We Are
Registered Keeper exists to protect UK motorists from unfair parking enforcement by legally managing your vehicle’s registration.
We act as the registered keeper of your vehicle, a legal administrative role that ensures:
- ✅ The vehicle is correctly registered with the DVLA
- ✅ Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) is paid
- ✅ MOT status is properly monitored
- ✅ Keeper data is protected from private enforcement misuse
We are not the driver.
We do not own or insure the vehicle.
We manage the paperwork that allows you to drive stress-free and remain road-legal while keeping your personal information secure.
🚗 Your Role as the Motorist
As the driver of the vehicle, your legal responsibilities remain:
- ✅ You must insure yourself to drive the vehicle
- ✅ You must obey road laws (e.g. no speeding, dangerous driving, running red lights)
- ✅ You must notify us if your insurance or driving status changes
In short:
We manage the legal paperwork and enforcement risk.
You drive responsibly and legally.
🛡 Who Is the DVLA Registered Keeper
Most people wrongly assume that having their name on the V5C document means they legally own the vehicle.
But the truth is clearly printed right at the top of every V5C:
“THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.
It shows who is responsible for registering and taxing the vehicle.“
Being the registered keeper simply means you are responsible for:
- ✅ Keeping DVLA registration up to date
- ✅ Ensuring the vehicle is properly taxed
- ✅ Making sure the vehicle has a valid MOT
It has nothing to do with legal ownership of the car.
🎯 Why This Matters
When you sign up with Registered Keeper:
- We take over the registration responsibility legally.
- We handle your vehicle tax payments.
- We provide MOT support reminders to keep you compliant.
- And crucially, we shield you from unfair parking fines and court threats.
You stay fully insured and legally able to drive.
We deal with all the boring admin, paperwork, and PCN nonsense, so you don’t have to.
✅ More freedom.
✅ Less stress.
✅ Total peace of mind.
🚗 Vehicle Registration with DVLA
When you join Registered Keeper, one of the first steps is transferring the vehicle’s registered keeper details into our management service.
This process is:
- ✅ Fully legal
- ✅ DVLA-compliant
- ✅ Designed to protect you
We use the 11-digit document reference number from your existing V5C to update the keeper records with DVLA.
Once completed, the vehicle becomes registered under Registered Keeper UK, while you remain the insured driver and user of the car.
Important:
🎯 Why Is This Important?
In UK law, the registered keeper is responsible for:
- Receiving communications from DVLA
- Receiving PCNs, parking fines, and enforcement notices
- Ensuring the vehicle is taxed and legally recorded
By shifting the registered keeper role to us, we intercept all parking and enforcement issues before they ever reach you.
You get peace of mind and you stay fully protected without having to deal with endless letters or court claims.
- You still have full control of the vehicle.
- You can drive it, insure it, and use it as normal.
- You can cancel at any time if you wish to transfer it back into your own name.
🚗 Road Tax Payments (Vehicle Excise Duty)
When you sign up with Registered Keeper, we also manage your vehicle’s road tax payments to ensure you remain fully road legal.
Here’s how it works:
- ✅ As soon as the vehicle registration is updated with DVLA into our name, your existing road tax (Vehicle Excise Duty) is automatically cancelled by DVLA.
- ✅ A new road tax account must be set up immediately.
- ✅ We use your vehicle’s 11-digit V5C document reference number to register the vehicle for monthly road tax payments.
💳 How We Manage Your Road Tax
- You deposit 12 months of road tax upfront when you join Registered Keeper.
- We pay DVLA monthly on your behalf, ensuring your car stays taxed and road-legal at all times.
- If you choose to cancel your Registered Keeper subscription at any point: We will immediately refund the remaining balance of your deposited road tax.
✅ You stay fully compliant without needing to chase renewals.
✅ Your tax status is visible and verifiable online anytime through the DVLA system.
📣 Stay Informed
We actively monitor every vehicle under our fleet account using DVLA’s online fleet management portal.
We will:
- Send you timely reminders when your road tax is approaching expiry
- Alert you if your road tax deposit is running low
- Ensure that no gaps in coverage occur to keep you fully protected
🎯 In Simple Terms:
- You stay taxed without stress
- You stay road-legal
- You stay protected
🛡 Parking Fines & Enforcement Protection
One of the biggest pain points for UK motorists is the constant threat of unfair parking tickets, private PCNs, and enforcement action from councils and parking companies.
At Registered Keeper, our mission is simple:
To stop this stress before it even starts.
Once your vehicle is fully registered under our management and your certificate is issued, you are protected.
🚫 How We Shield You
✅ All PCNs and parking enforcement letters come to us, not you.
✅ We will assess every notice and determine whether to:
- Appeal it
- Challenge it
- Or destroy it entirely if it has no legal merit
✅ You will never have to:
- Call a parking company
- Worry about a missed letter
- Face bailiffs or enforcement agents about a parking fine again
📬 What Happens If a PCN Arrives?
- We take care of it from the start
- You will be notified only if further information is required
- Otherwise, it’s handled, no stress, no action needed
You are free to drive and park without fear.
You still need to follow local laws and signs, of course, but minor errors and overly aggressive ticketing will never reach your door again.
🧠 Why This Matters
Private parking companies and councils request your data from the DVLA using “reasonable cause” rules.
They then send PCNs, threaten legal action, and make it your problem.
When you use Registered Keeper:
- That data request never links to you
- That pressure never reaches you
- That fine never lands in your lap
🎯 Final Protection Summary
✅ We shield you
✅ We handle the stress
✅ You stay road-legal, calm, and in control
All from just £1.67 per day.
🔧 Free MOT With Every Package
Every UK vehicle over 3 years old is legally required to have a valid MOT (Ministry of Transport) test every 12 months.
At Registered Keeper, we make MOT compliance stress-free, automatic, and included in your plan.
🛠 How It Works
- As soon as you join, we record your vehicle’s current MOT expiry date
- This is tracked centrally in our Registered Keeper fleet system
- We’ll notify you well in advance when your MOT is due, no guesswork, no panic
- You’ll receive a link to book an MOT slot at one of our trusted partner garages
- All you need to do is:
✅ Book the time
✅ Drop your car off
✅ Pick it up after the test
✅ 1 MOT Included Per Year
Every Registered Keeper plan includes:
- 1 fully paid MOT test per year
- Managed reminders and scheduling
- Simple booking via your dashboard or email link
If your vehicle needs multiple MOTs in a single year (e.g. following a retest or vehicle changes), we will:
- Notify you again in advance
- Offer you an easy slot to book
- Charge you the additional MOT cost, with no markup or extra admin fees
🎯 Why It Matters
Many drivers forget or delay their MOT, putting themselves at risk of:
- Fines up to £1,000
- Invalid insurance
- Vehicle seizure
We remove that stress by making MOT compliance automatic and effortless, so you can focus on driving, not deadlines.
🛡 Insurance Responsibility & Driver Requirements
When you sign up with Registered Keeper, we manage the registration, taxation, and MOT of your vehicle.
However, it remains your personal legal responsibility to ensure that you are insured to drive the vehicle at all times.
🚗 Your Insurance Responsibilities
- ✅ You must arrange and maintain valid motor insurance for your vehicle.
- ✅ You must inform your insurer that the vehicle is registered to a limited company (Registered Keeper UK) but that you are the primary driver.
- ✅ If the vehicle is involved in an accident, damaged, written off, or sold, you must inform us immediately via your account dashboard.
Insurance is a fundamental legal requirement for all UK motorists.
Driving without insurance is a criminal offence that could result in points, fines, vehicle seizure or worse.
🎯 Our Future Plans
We do not currently offer insurance products directly.
However, partnerships with insurers are on our roadmap to offer unbeatable value and seamless integration for our customers in the future.
✅ When these services launch, you’ll have the option to manage your registration, MOT, tax, parking fines, and insurance all under one roof.
🔍 Insurance Status Tracking
We are also developing direct integration with the Motor Insurance Bureau (MIB) the same insurance database used by UK police forces.
When complete, this system will allow us to:
- Check your insurance status automatically
- Notify you instantly by email and SMS if there is any issue (e.g., expired insurance, incorrect policy details)
You will have the chance to correct any insurance issues before they become legal problems.
📋 Important
If you change anything about your vehicle including colour, engine size, or body type, you must notify us immediately through your online account.
We will then apply for the appropriate updates to the V5C logbook to ensure your vehicle record stays accurate and compliant.
🚨 Motoring Offences & Legal Responsibilities
While Registered Keeper provides full protection against parking fines and unfair PCNs, it is important to understand that criminal motoring offences are a separate matter.
These include:
- 🚨 Speeding
- 🚨 Running a red light
- 🚨 Dangerous or careless driving
- 🚨 Driving without insurance or a valid licence
- 🚨 Involvement in a road traffic accident
📋 Our Legal Obligations
Under UK law, if the police or other enforcement authorities request information under Section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988, we are lawfully required to cooperate.
This means we will provide:
- ✅ A copy of the Registered Keeper UK Certificate issued for the vehicle
- ✅ A record of who registered the vehicle with Registered Keeper
- ✅ Contact information for the individual responsible for driving the vehicle
⚠️ What This Means for You
You must drive legally and responsibly at all times.
Our service does not cover:
- Criminal driving offences
- Insurance fraud
- Speeding tickets
- Accidents or third-party claims
Failure to comply with driving laws could lead to prosecution, points, or loss of licence, just as it would if the vehicle was registered in your own name.
✅ Our Promise
We’ll protect you from the unfair side of the system
but we will never shield anyone from breaking the law.
Registered Keeper exists to uphold legal standards while reducing unnecessary stress for everyday drivers.
We are here to protect good people not enable bad decisions.
