What document must owners provide to establish operating weight?

To establish the operating weight of a vehicle, owners must provide a Declaration of Gross Vehicle Weight/Combined Gross Vehicle Weight, known as REG 4008. This document is specifically designed to declare the weight limits of vehicles, which is crucial for regulatory compliance, registration, and ensuring that the vehicle operates safely within its weight capacity.

Providing the correct gross weight is essential, particularly for vehicles that might be used for commercial purposes or have specific weight restrictions. Other documents, such as a Vehicle Registration Application, Proof of Insurance, or a Bill of Sale, do not contain the necessary information regarding the operating weight. The REG 4008 form directly addresses the need for this weight declaration, making it the appropriate document required in this context.
