Mine ran out last night. The insurance co. havent sent me a certificate for it yet, and the DVLA havent sent me a registration doc. for it either, so I,m a bit stuck atm.

You'll need the insurance docs but you can tax it with the green new owners slip

A decent (largeish) post office doesnt need the certificate - they check online....obviously needs the database to be up to date though.

I just phoned them to check this, and apparently they don't do this. (against DVLA regulations!), but they can accept a printed copy from an email attachment or downloaded from the website. but not a photocopy or fax.

the only worry about the online checking is that sometimes it takes a couple of days or so to update at their end

i had one post office telling me they wouldn't even accept my insurance documents because the company wasn't on their list of approved car insurers, which is odd, cos as far as i'm aware, an insured car is an insured car!! my other local post office had no problems at all with my paperwork
