Filling it by hand

The title-holder vs owner section, identity boxes, small errors — get one wrong and the registration is rejected.

What is the RLV form?

The RLV (Application for Registration and Licensing of a Motor Vehicle) is the official form a buyer uses to register a vehicle in their own name and licence it. If you've just bought a car — privately or from a dealer — this is the form that puts it legally in your name. The buyer must submit it to their registering authority within 21 days of taking possession, with the registration certificate received from the seller.

Who fills it in

  • The buyer (new owner) completes and signs the RLV. If the vehicle is financed, the form distinguishes between the title holder (the bank or finance house that holds the vehicle until it’s paid off) and the owner (you, using it). TrafficForms handles this distinction for you — one of the trickier parts to get right by hand.

What you need

  • Your identity details (ID document or smart card).
  • The vehicle registration certificate (RC1) from the seller.
  • A roadworthy certificate, if the current one has expired or is older than 60 days.
  • Proof of residence (a utility bill or similar, in date).
  • For a financed vehicle: the finance house's details as title holder.
  • For a company vehicle: company registration details and the appointed proxy/representative.

The hard part — and how we help

The RLV trips people up on the title-holder vs owner distinction (especially for financed cars), on identity-type boxes, and on small errors that send you back to the queue. TrafficForms fills it correctly — photograph your documents, we place the details onto the official RLV, handling the financed/owned and individual/company distinctions automatically. You review every field, correct anything, and download a ready-to-submit form.

  • Minutes, on your phone — not a day in a queue.
  • Correct first time — review step catches errors before the counter.
  • Handles financed and company vehicles — the title-holder/owner logic most get wrong by hand.
  • You keep your documents — uploads deleted after processing.

After you've filled the RLV

  1. Print and sign the completed form.
  2. Submit at your registering authority (DLTC) within 21 days of taking possession, with: the registration certificate from the seller, your ID, proof of residence, and a valid roadworthy certificate.
  3. Pay the registration and licensing fees (vary by vehicle and location), plus any outstanding fines flagged on the vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the official eNaTIS site?

No — TrafficForms is an independent helper that fills the official form correctly. We're not connected to any authority and don't submit for you.

Do I still need the NCO from the seller?

Yes. The seller submits the NCO to take the car out of their name; you submit the RLV to put it into yours. Both are part of a complete transfer — TrafficForms can help with both. See the NCO guide.

What if the car is financed?

The RLV separates the title holder (finance house) from the owner (you). TrafficForms handles this automatically — you indicate the vehicle is financed and we route the details correctly.

Will the licensing office accept it?

You print, review, sign, and submit it yourself, so it's filled correctly — but acceptance rests with the authority, and you're responsible for the supporting documents (roadworthy, proof of residence, certified ID copies).

Selling and buying at the same time? See the NCO form guide.
