If you have a vehicle
tax reminder (V11 form), bring this form with you along with:
- a valid insurance certificate or cover note – photocopies, renewal invitations, policy receipts or schedules cannot be used
- a
valid MOT (Vehicle Test Certificate) if required – your vehicle tax
reminder will tell you if you need this. Your MOT must be valid on the
date from which the tax disk starts or the date the tax disk is issued
whichever is the later.
- for disabled vehicle tax class, you need to bring a valid Exemption Certificate
