Active Vehicle Module (AVM) search

The Active Vehicle Module (AVM) search can now be found in the NHVR Portal.

The AVM search allows you to check in real time if a vehicle is currently nominated in the Mass and/or Maintenance modules of the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme (NHVAS). It does not provide any details about the registered owner of the vehicle and will only return a result if the vehicle is currently nominated as "Active".

By using this service you agree to the following Terms of Use.
