Articulated Trucks (24–32 tons and above) – both commercial and private
Buses and Coaches – commercial and private
Construction and Mining Equipment
Motorcycles (school and private categories)
Mechanically Propelled Agricultural and Harvesting Equipment
Motor Vehicles (exposed and non-exposed categories)
Road Cargo Vehicles (up to and above 32 tons)
Each category features separate charges for Regular and Premium services, with Premium services attracting higher rates due to faster processing.

Registration and transfer of vehicles
Registration and transfer with customised numbers
Registration and transfer with special numbers
Transfer of commission for articulated trucks, harvesters, and ageing equipment
Special categories such as trace plates and customised number transfers have also been updated.

The Authority encouraged the public to review the updated fee schedule and contact DVLA offices nationwide for clarification where needed.
