Filling in the V317. The check list at the front indicates that you need to declare the V5s for both vehicles, MOT test certificates for both, the transfer fee of £80 and then when returned, you need to go to your local officer to take the tax disks in.

 

But, inside it states that you need valid insurance documents. I asked DVLA over the phone and they said you didn't.

 

The donor vehicle is now insured by a friend, but the car is still in my name.

 

Any ideas what I need to do anyone?

Hey Si,

 

IIRC you will need the insurance certificate only if applying for a tax disc.

 

Otherwise best take the certificate for your own car just to be on the safe side. You know what government agency desk-jockies can be like on the "jobs-worth" front :headvswal

 

Richard :smw:

I'm not applying for a tax disk though, just swapping the plates over and transfering the tax over.

 

Cheers Rich.
