What is a SORN?

SORN stands for ‘Statutory Off Road Notification’. The law states that if a tax disc runs out or is returned for a refund the registered keeper of the vehicle must:

• tax it again as normal (if it will be kept or used on public roads); or

• make a SORN (if you do not use or keep it on a public road. Garages, driveways and private land may be considered to be off road areas. You can contact the authority responsible for maintaining a particular road to confirm this.)
