Process for First Registration

1. The Client submits the requirements for first registration to the VEO.
2. Upon receipt, the VEO prepares and submits a preliminary assessment report to the Team Leader Technical.
3. The Team Leader Technical reviews the report and either recommends approval or refusal, then submits it to the Branch Manager.
4. The Branch Manager formally advises the applicant of the decision, whether approved or refused.
5. For approved applications, the approval letter and registration documents are submitted to the CSO, who will assign a new number plate and prepare the MV Levy (Third Party) and accept the inspection fee.
6. The application is then forwarded for the vehicle inspection process.
7. After the vehicle inspection the VEO updates the inspection result and the application is sent back to the CSO to process the registration label.
8. Once all steps are completed, the number plate is issued to the VEO to be affixed to the vehicle.
