Firstly is the bike in question currently insured and has a valid MOT certificate? If so i would tax it online, in order to do this you need to know the reg number and have the ref number from the front of the V5.

Im getting it insured on friday. and does indeed have an MOT. Will i only need the bikes reg and a number off of the V5?

Re: Taxing a SORN SV
 

just take your insurance paperwork, mot certificate and V5 with you, all you need to make a happy bike again.

I've usually got one on SORN and end up having to go to the Post Office for some reason or another, coz the online thing says no.
If it says no on the tinterweb when attempting to tax it, you'll need your V5, MOT and insurance docs at the PO.

Will print outs of insurance docs count? ill not get the docs in the post quick enough.

Taxing a car, motorcycle or light goods vehicle

You can tax online, by phone, in person or by post.
Tax online or by phone
If you're the registered keeper, you can renew your tax by using the reference number on your Registration Certificate (V5C).

• Apply for a tax disc online or by phone

Tax with a Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement – in person or by post
You can tax in person at any Post Office® branch that issues tax discs.
You will need to take:

• Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement
• insurance certificate or cover note – must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
• valid MOT certificate - if the car or motorcycle is over three years old - must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
• the payment for vehicle tax (not needed if your vehicle is exempt from paying vehicle tax)

You can also tax at a DVLA local office or by post to selected Post Office® branches.
You will need:

• Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement
• a completed V10 'Vehicle licence application'
• insurance certificate or cover note – must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
• valid MOT certificate - if the car or motorcycle is over three years old - must be valid when the tax disc comes into force
• the payment for vehicle tax (not needed if your vehicle is exempt from paying vehicle tax)

The New Keeper Supplement can only be used for taxing at the Post Office for two months from the date you bought your vehicle. However, the DVLA Local Office will accept it for taxing up to thirteen months from your purchase date. If it’s out of date, you’ll need to apply for a Registration Certificate in your name – please see Taxing without a Registration Certificate or New Keeper Supplement’ below.

^^^^ That says to me as long as i get it insured friday ill be able to just run through that link and add in the number from my V5 ready to go.

When i insure it on Friday. will it show on the system instantly?

I wouldn't rely on it. Post Office is probably the safest bet - get the insurance firm to email you a copy of the certificate. If they "can't", consider whether they are actually your best bet for insurance.

Why not insure it now?
