Insurance on the verge of getting cancelled...

Thanks to HMRC taking their sweet time on doing my NOVA form (which still hasn't arrived, had to chase this up and got sent an email copy) and now there won't be enough time for DVLA to register my vehicle.

 

Because of this Admiral will be dropping my unregistered vehicle off the policy because you're only allowed a month and the deadline is 11pm tonight...

 

Shot in the dark but has anybody dealt with a similar situation?

 

I have called DVLA and they have no idea if my application is even being processed... All I need is a registration number 😖

You may have picked the wrong insurer? When I imported an original Ford Mustang from the USA you always know that there could be issues with the NOVA release. So when I arranged insurance I did so on the understanding that the time limited VIN insurance would have its expiry waived should HMRC not release the NOVA in a timely manner. With me there was no problem, the NOVA arrived within 2 weeks. The insurer I used was Hegerty who did the transit insurance, VIN insurance and then onto the registered vehicle insurance. So, if you haven't talked with your insurer with regard to a flexible waiver on the 2 or 4 week limit, you really should.

One thing you'll find with the DVLA is they are on a fast turnaround these days, usually within a week. So long as you have an email copy of the NOVA from HMRC, not just a printout but a formal letter confirming all duty and taxes are paid then you are good to go. Assuming you have a MOT certificate to hand. All you need for the DVLA V55 is the MOT, Certificate of Insurance, Bill of Sale and origin title document. Plus a cheque for the road tax, envelope and stamp.
