gordy.r Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 oh great just found out the Manchester DVLA office now no longer exist WTF getting really annoyed.. Yeah ALL DVLA offices have now closed. Everything has to be sent down to Swansea now. Some major post offices can do certain things and it's best to check before you post everything down. Plus, when you do post anything to them, do it recorded delivery as then they can check their system to see when it's been received etc and they can't fob you off by saying it was lost in the post! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just tax it at a post office, bring your V5 and insurance policy cover note, and with the MOT certificate I have here, drying, you should be able to do it locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraP-Z Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I had this exact same problem last week...how stupid are these DVLA guys? I took it off road for a month! Anyways, as Chris and a few others have said. V5 to the post office, take your MOT and Proof of insurance just incase, but all my local post office needed was my V5 (Everything else is online) I got it taxed there and then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I have never seen them search a database, they look at the V5, the insurance paperwork, and the MOT certificate, relieve me of some money and give me a road tax disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraP-Z Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 The only thing close to searching the DVLA database they can get is probably this: https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/enquiry?execution=e1s1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
add heywood Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I taxed my car last month, they have now computerised the system and you no longer need your insurance cert or mot. It is due to the scrap page of the tax disc later this year, came in on January sometime I think... Good job because I couldn't be bothered printing my cert off as they only ever email the damn things nowadays... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobapple Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Just an update gents after a few phone calls the car is now taxed and sorted all I have to do now is hope I have not messed to many people around and I can go and pick it up tomorrow. All I can say is thank god that is over till next year haha, Chris I am hoping my brother will be a gent and bring me to yours tomorrow morning if thats okay sorry for the messing around, was just a bit of a shock when the dvla say your car doesn't exist, thanks for all the tips and advise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
