The Barbados Licensing Authority (BLA) has simplified the annual registration process for private vehicles.
From Monday, July 15, 2024, when private vehicle owners renew their insurance policies, insurance companies will send the information electronically to the BLA, and it will be automatically updated in the authority’s database.
Vehicle owners will then receive notification from the BLA, via email, confirming their registration status. Where no email addresses are available, the notification will be posted, and should be kept in the vehicle to be presented upon request by a police officer or a transport inspector.
This new process will eliminate the need for persons to visit BRA and will also ensure that the authority’s database is updated in real-time to reflect registration and insurance compliance of private vehicles.
The initiative is also a preparatory step for the upcoming Electronic Vehicle Tagging Registration (EVTR) system, which will eliminate road tax discs and the registration stickers that were placed on the licence plates of private vehicles.
