These Regulations further amend the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002, so as to provide that the fee of £19, payable to the Secretary of State under regulations 13, 14, 16, 18, 21, 22, 24 and 25 of those Regulations in respect of a registration document which has been, or may have been, lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, is not to be payable where “the registration document fee exemption” applies. Regulation 3 of these Regulations inserts a new paragraph (1A) into regulation 3 of the 2002 Regulations defining the circumstances in which that exemption applies.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no adverse impact on the costs of business.
