Welcome to the VCA Portal

On this page you can:

Register your organisation for a portal account for the first time
Login to the portal if you have an existing account to submit a new, or review the status of an existing application for GB Type Approval and Provisional GB Type Approval 
You should only register for a portal account if:
You would like to apply for GB Type Approval(s) and Provisional GB Type Approval(s)
(Please note that registration is required if you have not used our portal service previously)
Use portal sign-in to:
Apply for a GB Type Approval(s) and Provisional GB Type Approval(s)
Applications for full GB Type Approval through the portal are only possible where you hold issued Test Reports from an EU Technical Services and require no VCA involvement in the generation of evidence. If you require VCA to undertake testing or inspections to create test reports towards a GB Type Approval, please continue applying to us through the application form as you have done previously.

Are you a manufacturer applying for European Type Approval?

If you are applying for new European approvals or extensions to existing approvals with STA, RDW or SNCH (through VCA Europe s.r.l), check the box on the VCA Europe pdf application form to also apply for a GB Provisional approval rather than applying through the portal.
