About DueOwl

DueOwl helps UK families stay on top of the admin that keeps a household running — insurance, MOT, road tax, council tax, the TV Licence, passports, mortgages and the rest. These guides are the free, public companion to the DueOwl app, which keeps track of these renewals for you and your partner.

Who writes these guides

Semih Kavaklioglu — founder of DueOwl and a UK-based parent. DueOwl started after one too many missed renewals in our own household; the app is what we wished existed, and these guides are the research behind it. Every guide is written and maintained by Semih, checked against the official source it cites (GOV.UK, DVLA, DVSA, NHS, Ofgem, FCA, MoneyHelper), and revisited when rules or fees change. Corrections are welcome at hello@dueowl.com.

Our editorial standards

• Sourced. Every factual claim links to an official source — gov.uk, DVLA, DVSA, the NHS, Ofgem, the FCA — with the date we last checked it.
• Plain English. We explain how things work without jargon or a sales pitch.
• Kept current. Fees, dates and rules change; we revisit our guides and show a “last updated” date on each one.
• Information, not advice. Our guides are general information, not personalised financial, legal or medical advice. Always check the official source and your own circumstances.
