The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issues more than two million V11s reminders each month.

Non-delivery of the reminder can be caused by a variety of reasons, including instances such as the vehicle keeper moving house and failing to advise the DVLA of their new address. However, it remains the responsibility of the vehicle keeper to ensure their vehicle is properly licensed or subject to an off road notification. The DVLA has processes in place to mitigate against the possibility of duplicate V11s being issued.
