A restricted miscellaneous vehicle may only be driven for a limited number of short journeys and be operated exclusively on public access areas such as showgrounds, racecourses, industrial sites and forest areas. Restricted miscellaneous vehicle conditional registration may be issued to a vehicle that is constructed for use in a restricted area.
Eligible vehicles
A vehicle restricted to a specified area by conditions or by conditions in accordance with a notice issued by the registrar, such as:
- golf buggies
- four-wheel motor bikes
- personnel carriers
- land yachts.
Restricted miscellaneous vehicle conditional registration is applicable to all vehicle types (vehicle, cycle and trailer).

Registration renewals can be paid by direct debit.
If you need to register a vehicle for only part of the year, you may apply for seasonal registration and pay for a single period of 3, 6 or 9 months.
