Vehicle Checker

Scotland’s Low Emission Zones will only allow access to vehicles which meet minimum emission standards or meet the exemption criteria.

The below vehicle checker will allow you, by providing your vehicle registration number, to check if your vehicle can or cannot drive within a LEZ based on whether it is considered compliant or non-compliant with the emission standards.

Please note that the vehicle checker will not provide an exemption status. You will need to check whether you or your vehicle meet any of the exemption criteria before travel.

This service cannot check vehicles that are registered outside the UK.

The vehicle registration you have entered has not been recognised. Please ensure you have entered it correctly and that the vehicle you are checking was registered in the UK.

Try entering the vehicle registration number again making sure you have not mixed up letters and numbers (for example, the letters I and O with the numbers 1 and 0).

If the vehicle details still can not be found and you believe the vehicle should be registered in the UK, you must arrange for the information that DVLA holds for this vehicle to be updated or it may be considered non-compliant and the vehicle owner may be liable to pay a penalty charge if it is driven in a Low Emission Zone.

The data accuracy of this service is always improving. If you think your result is incorrect, please contact lowemissionzonesenquiries@gov.scot.
