I wish to change the name or address on my vehicle documentation. What do I need to do?

If you hold a Vehicle Licensing Certificate or a Vehicle Registration Certificate for your vehicle, you should enter the details of your new name and/or address on the reverse side of this document and send it to:

The Vehicle Registration Unit, Department of Transport, Shannon Town, Co. Clare.

Your new details will be updated and the replacement Vehicle Registration Certificate will be sent to you outlining the changes in due course. If you hold a Registration (Log) Book for your vehicle you must send it to your local Motor Taxation Office together with a note detailing the change of name and/or address. Your details will then be updated and the Registration (Log) Book will be returned to you. Note in the case of a change of name, one of the following must also be submitted:

Marriage Certificate - if change of name is by marriage.



Birth certificate - if you are reverting to your maiden name..



Solicitor's Letter - if you are changing your name by deed poll..
