Do i need to wait on my insurance documents coming in the post..?

Question

before i can tax my car, i just bought it and it had no tax??

Answer 1

The post office will not be able to issue you a tax disc without your certificate of motor insurance...( it would be illegal for them to do so). Go to your insurers and get them to issue you a cover note. The post office will also need to see your m.o.t and your vehicle registration document.

Answer 2

The Post Office DEMAND to see the Insurance Certificate, Log Book and MOT Certificate when you are taxing a vehicle. WITHOUT one of them the Post Office will REFUSE to give you a tax disc.

Answer 3

You do, to tax it at the Post Office. They need to see the documentation.

On t'other hand, if you have the new-style MoT and your insurers have registered your cover with the Motor Insurance Database, you can do it online - see the DVLA's website.
