Japanese export certificate → DVLA V55/5
From certificate to filled V55/5 in under a minute.
JDM55 reads your MLIT export certificate — photo, scan, or PDF — and fills out the DVLA V55/5 form automatically. Built for the paperwork JDM importers deal with every day, not a generic form-filler.
The problem
Importing a JDM vehicle means transcribing a Japanese export certificate onto a DVLA V55/5 by hand: chassis numbers, engine codes, dates, owner details — all of it copied field by field, in a language most UK registration software has no idea how to read. One typo and you're re-submitting. Do this for ten cars a week and it's hours you're not getting paid for.
The solution
Upload the certificate. JDM55 reads it, maps every field to the right box on the V55/5, and gives you a form ready to check and file — no manual transcription, no guessing which Japanese field maps to which DVLA field.
How it works
Upload
Photo, scan, or PDF of the MLIT export certificate. Batch upload for multiple vehicles at once.
Review
Every field is pulled onto your vehicle sheet automatically. Check it, correct anything, done.

Download the filled V55/5, ready to submit. Batch export as PDF or Excel for your whole shipment.
Why JDM55
Built for Japanese certificates
JDM55 reads the actual MLIT export certificate and does the field mapping for you — the part that actually takes time.
Priced for how much you import
Plans are built around how many cars you actually move a month, so the cost scales with your volume instead of surprising you.
Batch processing
Upload a shipment's worth of certificates at once, not one at a time.
Multi-seat on the Dealer plan
Your team works from the same account, not five separate logins.
Who it's for
Built for JDM import dealers, brokers, and specialists registering vehicles from Japan in the UK — not a general DVLA forms tool.
