Check your vehicle

Find out if your vehicle meets the current emissions standards required for the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and/or the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) or if you need to pay a daily charge.

Find out about the tougher changes we're making to LEZ standards in 2021.

ULEZ: covers all vehicles driven within the central London area. This area will expand on 25 October 2021
LEZ: covers HGVs, lorries, vans, buses, coaches, minibuses and other specialist diesel vehicles driven within Greater London

The ULEZ operates every day of the year except Christmas Day (25 December) and the LEZ operates every day of the year - charging days run from midnight to midnight. You might also need to pay the Congestion Charge.

Check your vehicle if you are driving in a Clear Air Zone in a different UK city, outside London.

Be careful not to mix up the letters 'I' and 'O' with the numbers '1' and '0'.

Choose the correct country of registration. You risk getting a penalty if you pick the wrong one.

All fields are required unless they're marked as optional.
