Log in to use the Notification of Vehicle Arrivals (NOVA) service

Use the NOVA service to tell HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) you’ve brought a vehicle into the UK.

You can use the service if:

  • you’re a VAT-registered business that does not use the secure registration scheme
  • you’re not VAT-registered and you’ve imported a vehicle from the EU into Northern Ireland
  • you’re not VAT-registered and you’ve imported a vehicle from Ireland using a delayed declaration

Online services may be slow during busy times. Check if there are any problems with this service.
