It says take the documents. Can you just send them in the post as we have assumed we will have to go the the office in Bham.

Ali - Steve Rowden has done a piece in the last club mag Kawasaki Triples for Beginners - just reading it now and that says you have to go the nearest dvla office in person.

you also have to pay for the first year tax aswell as the £55 fee you need to show mot insurance receipt who you bought bike of and paper work to show import duty has been paid hope this helps

Says this on the website
a £55 registration fee (if applicable) and the required fee for the vehicle tax (cheques or postal orders made payable to DVLA Swansea)

Made payable to D V L A - But you ARE better off taking it in person . . Had a guy in December mailed all his papers to Swansea, of course they said that they never arrived, even though someone signed for them 
- Finally replaced them and was on the road in MARCH!

As Rick says. We have an office a few miles away. Not sure if i could risk the whole lot. They need ID. Your passport/ driving licence. You dont want toi risk that also.

nice one Ali :smt023
it is great to get a bike finally on the road after a long build innit?
i always prefer to send the docs in by post as it seems to work better when you are not standing in front of them at the counter. :smt023

Hi All.
I was the culprit that wrote the "beginners" piece in the mag.
I based my "in person" remarks on a phone call to DVLA before l went in to register mine. I'm sorry for the mis-information. Risky but easier by post as I hate riding into Maidstone Center.
