Private Detective Leeds can now provide vehicle registration and keeper checks through the DVLA KADOE service.
These checks allow lawful access to the registered keeper’s details on a specific date.

We strictly regulate access and allow it only in approved circumstances.
All checks comply fully with UK data protection law.

What Is a DVLA KADOE Vehicle Check?

KADOE stands for Keeper at Date of Event.
It allows approved organisations to request registered keeper information.

Each request must have a lawful and justified purpose.
Supporting evidence must be provided before submitting an enquiry.

This process protects individual privacy at all times.

Why Vehicle Registration Checks are Subject to Strict Controls

The DVLA holds sensitive personal data.
We control access in line with strict legal and contractual requirements.

As an approved user, Private Detective Leeds must ensure every request has a lawful purpose, supporting documentation, and restricted data use.

Approved Reasons for Vehicle Registration Checks

The DVLA restricts vehicle registration checks to approved reasonable causes.

Left or Abandoned Vehicles

When a vehicle is abandoned on private land and must be lawfully removed.
We can trace the registered keeper to resolve the issue.

Repossessed or Seized Vehicles

When a court judgment or civil decree allows vehicle repossession or seizure.
We assist in confirming registered keeper details.

Payment Default on Vehicle Lease Agreements

Where there is evidence of payment default under a lease agreement.
This supports recovery or repossession action.

Unauthorised Change of Keeper

Where a vehicle is kept by someone not authorised under a lease agreement.
This includes suspected unauthorised keeper changes.

Road Traffic Incidents

Where an insurance claim follows a road traffic collision.
Progressing the claim may require access to the keeper’s details.

Hit and Run Incidents

In cases involving a hit-and-run accident, and the vehicle remains unidentified.
Tracing the registered keeper supports the investigation.

Fraud Investigations

Where documentary evidence of fraud exists.
This includes false information used to obtain a vehicle lease.

Evidence to a Court Standard

We conduct all vehicle checks lawfully and professionally.
We manage all obtained information in line with strict security requirements.

Where required, findings can be provided as Evidence to a Court Standard.

What This Means for Our Clients

Supporting documentation is required before submission.

Requests outside these criteria cannot be processed.
