If you are a victim of car cloning then you will be unaware of the crime until you receive a speeding notice, parking charge or some other correspondence for a motoring offence through the post. In every case, you should report the matter to the police, the DVLA and the authority that has sent you the notice.

You may be asked to provide evidence to prove that you and your car were not at the place of the alleged offence. In some cases, the DVLA will issue a new registration number and void the old one to prevent confusion and future crimes from being committed in your name.
