Low Emission Zones - Vehicle Registration Checker

Use your vehicle registration number to check if you can drive in a Low Emission Zone (LEZ).

Only vehicles that meet minimum emission standards or certain exemption criteria can be driven in a LEZ.

This checker does not cover vehicles that are registered outside the UK. Contact your national vehicle authority to check if your vehicle meets the required standard.

If the vehicle does not meet the emission standards and is not in an exempted category then the owner may be liable to pay a penalty charge if it is it driven within a Low Emission Zone.
