DVLA Vehicle Enquiry

Retrieve vehicle information from a UK Vehicle Registration Number.

The DVLA Vehicle Enquiry Data Connector uses the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency's Vehicle Enquiry Service API to retrieve information about vehicles in the UK.

Once this has been installed and added to a Form, you can access this Data Connector in the Form's server event scripts using: connectors.verjio.dvla.

dvla.getVehicleInfo retrieves information about a vehicle from its vehicle registration number (also known as a license plate). The information returned includes fuel type, MOT status, make, colour and body type.

Code example:

var result = connectors.verjio.dvla.getVehicleInfo('HA58 TAG');
