It’s not a tax (as they keep reminding us)

Ah yes, VED, that'll be the one Steve. Whatever they call it, I can't see what I get for the money, even though its free these days   ;D ;D ;D

You get precisely what you pay for then!

The fact they'd VED'd it kinda threw me a bit 'cos the process has changed quite a lot since I last registered overseas bikes.  Last time, you needed to supply MOT and insurance certificates.  Since neither are required now - and (I assume) the VED checker references the insurance database - I wasn't sure whether the fact that I'd insured both machines on frame numbers would have shown up.  I know the insurers record the frame number in those situations, but I could't remember whether they passed them on to the MIB database.  Either way, I'll update my insurers in the next few days.

And last time out I got a certificate sent ahead of/along with V5 confirming the bike had been given a registration number, which could be used to get plates made up.  Now, the V5 is all you get . . . which makes a whole lot more sense to me.  That process change alone must've saved the DVLA a small fortune.

All very exciting.

Crispy:
You should still get a certificate to authorise your new plates being made up, not that you really need one. It will probably come a week or so after your V5 along with the returned documents from your application.  :)
