FIVA Identity Cards Price Rise
Published: 01/05/2024
The cost of processing the application and the issuing of FIVA identity cards is to rise from 1st July 2024.
The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC) acts as the UK administrative agent for the issue of FIVA Identity Cards. These cards provide a simple guide to a vehicle’s history, authenticity and specification and are required for events run under FIVA rules.
The cards provide evidence of provenance and therefore add value to a vehicle as well as making it eligible for several exclusive events around the globe.
The increased costs will not only cover the rise in administration costs incurred by the FBHVC in issuing the cards but will also serve as a much-needed donation towards the ever-increasingly complex work that the Federation undertakes in lobbying authorities to ensure our freedom to enjoy yesterday’s vehicles on tomorrow’s roads.
With effect from 1 July 2024, the cost of a standard FIVA Card is £260.00 and a priority application is £310.00, both prices include VAT and shipping of the completed card by tracked, courier service to a UK address. International Postage will be charged extra. This represents an increase of £100 over the previous cost.
Owners who are members of affiliated FBHVC member organisations benefit from £30.00 discount.
FIVA require all vehicles to be physically examined before issuing a new card. The cost of these examinations is variable and is subject to agreement between the FIVA Examiner and owner. These costs will be invoiced by the examiner and payments will still be made directly to the examiner.
If a FIVA Card has been lost, duplicates of cards issued within the past ten years are available at 50% of the current cost of a new card. (Please note the original date of issue will remain and you will not receive a new window sticker.)
The Federation can only issue cards for vehicles that are registered in the UK. Cards are valid for ten years but are non-transferable, so expire on a change of ownership if that is earlier.
