Type at least two characters. The VTS number is the one on your authorisation and on your listing here.

What happens next

Once you pick your station, you email us from the garage quoting the VTS number. A person checks it against the DVSA list and, if it matches, sends a one-time link that opens your listing. The DVSA dataset gives a phone number but no email address and no website, so there is nothing we could send an automatic link to; rather than weaken the check, we do it by hand.

A claimed listing carries a “Maintained by this test centre” badge and lets you add your opening hours, what else you do besides MOTs, a booking link, your website and the number you want drivers to ring. Everything the DVSA reports stays exactly as it has it, unedited and clearly separated from anything you add. Read the full explanation for test centres or the listing terms first if you want the detail.
