Vehicle on Hire Certificate form VE103B.
Do I need a Vehicle on Hire Certificate?
UK motorists travelling in mainland Europe in a UK registered vehicle must carry the vehicles original Vehicle Registration Document (VRD).
But If your vehicle is a rented or leased vehicle, the leasing or rental company will not be willing to release the original registration document, so the ‘Vehicle on Hire Certificate’ (VE103B) acts as a substitute for the vehicles original registration document.
It is important that you apply for this certificate as if you are stopped by the Police or Customs and are not carrying this form you could have your vehicle impounded.
No other documentation will act as a substitute for the VE103B for example a letter of authority or even a photocopy of the registration document; will not be accepted by authorities such as local police or customs officials.
A VE103B remains valid for 12 months.
