Regulation 9 Replacement and renewal of registration documents
The registered keeper must notify the Secretary of State if—
the registration document has been destroyed, lost or stolen; or
any of the particulars shown on the registration document have become illegible.
A notification under paragraph (1) must be accompanied by payment of £10.00 and the Secretary of State may refuse to issue a replacement registration document if such payment is not made.
The registered keeper may apply to the Secretary of State to renew a registration document up to one calendar year before the expiry of an existing registration document or at any time after its expiry.
When making an application under paragraph (3), the registered keeper must provide all of the particulars specified in regulation 4(2)(d) to the Secretary of State.
Subject to regulation 8(1) and following receipt of a notification or application in accordance with this regulation, the Secretary of State must—
record any amended particulars in the register as soon as practicable; and
issue a replacement or renewed registration document, as appropriate, as soon as practicable.
Following the issuing of a replacement or renewed registration document in accordance with paragraph (5)(b)—
the Secretary of State must send the replacement or renewed registration document to the address of the registered keeper; and
the registered keeper must destroy, or surrender to the Secretary of State, any other registration document for the same trailer if required to do so by the Secretary of State.
