Foreign numberplate validation service

Foreign registered vehicle enforcement

Effective enforcement against foreign registered vehicles (FRVs) making short visits to the UK has always presented challenges.

These FRVs are more likely to contravene traffic and parking regulations than drivers of UK registered vehicles as well as being less likely to pay the penalty charges they incur.

Marston Holdings provides councils and commercial organisations with access to European vehicle registration databases to ensure that owners of FRVs can be identified. This service is provided through ParkTrade, a Swedish technology company that is part of Marston Holdings, which has established access to many national Vehicle Licencing Agencies.

We also provide a pan European debt recovery service for local authorities.

This relationship enables us to access European vehicle registration databases on behalf of clients to identify and process contraventions by FRVs as well as providing debt recovery services across Europe through Marston Recovery.
