reuse of information held by public bodies easier. PSI Regulations set out the rules that public sector bodies should follow when providing documents for reuse. DVSA has a delegation of

authority from the Keeper of The National Archives which enables it to license reuse of Crown copyright material the DVSA produces. COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW DVSA TRADES Contact the DVSA

Intellectual Property Team if you’re unhappy and do not feel DVSA has followed the rules in the PSI regulations. DVSA Crown Copyright Intellectual Property Manager DVSA Berkeley House
