Road Tax - now renewable online - SV650.org

26-10-04, 10:24 AM

For those that haven't spotted it, you can now renew your tax disc online

The reminder that comes in the post has a reference no. in the top right section, go to the website, enter this, and away you go.

website is www.dvla.gov.uk/vehiclelicence

If you haven't got the reminder in the post, you can still apply online, you just need the Registration No. and the Document Reference No. which is on your V5 (logbook).

The DVLA website 'checks' you have insurance (and an MOT if applicable), and all you do is give it your debit card no. (no credit cards allowed), and it turns up in the post a few days later

No more having to dig out documents and then trudging off to the post office

Does kind of raise the question as to why we need a bit of paper that can be stolen, when the details are all computerised anyway

Thanks. Mine's due for renewal now and I was going to do it on Thursday. I hate queuing at the post office. I've still got to go into Chiswick to queue in the bank though

Why

I bank online. If I need cash, I just scan in the odd tenner and get printing . . .

I do most of my banking online but I find that cheques don't clear if I stuff them into the floppy disk slot.

meep. Bloody thing. Either its broke, or Carole Nash has my money for no good reason....

Insurance could not be found

It has not been possible to locate insurance details for the vehicle on the Motor Insurance Database at this time and you are unable to complete your application for a tax disc using this service.

This does not necessarily mean the vehicle is uninsured.

It could be that your current policy expires shortly before the new Licence Start Date.

If you have recently renewed, updated or changed the Insurance Policy the vehicle details may not yet have been updated on the Motor Insurance Database.

If you have a valid Insurance Certificate or Cover Note...
You will need to apply for the tax disc at a licence-issuing Post Office® using the reminder (Vehicle Licence Application/SORN Declaration) or the Registration Document/ Certificate together with the Insurance Certificate or Cover Note, MOT Test Certificate (if applicable) and fee.
