Registering an import.

[Rich T]

Afternoon all.

 

Once my import is MOTd (This winter hopefully) ill be at the point of sending the paperwork off to the DVLA.

Is there any chance they will want to see a Birth Cert for the car?

Any idea about how to get hold of one or know who i need to speek to?

I want to make the registering process run as smoothly as possible so just trying to get things in order before i go for it .

 

Cheers

 

Rich

 

P.S Its a 74 Escort

Do you have the registration document from the country of origin?

If so does it show the year of first registration? 

If not (to either or both questions) you will need the help of a club registered with the DVLA's V765 scheme. You may need that help either way as it often depends whose desk the paperwork ends up on.

Fortunately we are such a club.  Send an email to the admin address if you need assistance.

Have you got its registration form from it country of origin ? Nova certificate  ? They were the two main things on mine. The info off the original log book just transfer onto form v55 got mine back through and registered in two weeks.

Got a copy of the original log book aswell (but its not the clearest).

I copied mine but sent originals with the form. And to be honest I was sweating a bit but went through a breeze

A copy will probably not cut it with the DVLA.......but it's worth a try.
