Is insurance needed for age related registration

[Paul Gasson]

My 1950 NH project is moving along quite well so I am preparing the paperwork for the DVLA to obtain an age related number for the bike. The notes I received some time ago from various sources suggest that a valid insurance cover note should be included with the submission, although I thought I read somewhere recently that this is no longer necessary. Can anyone confirm the situation as I cannot find any mention on the DVLA website or downloaded documents. Thanks in advance.

Short answer no you don't. there are detailed instructions in the members area I think ?

[Paul Gasson]

Thanks for that Paul, I will check it..

hi paul you will not get insurance unless you do in on the frame and engine number , but you don't need insurance to get a registration, it just needs to be registered with DVLA

Thanks Johnny, I’m just getting up to speed with all of the changes. I think I’m there now but just found out that my 2016 AOMCC dating certificate will not work at DVLA, it needs to be less than a year old so I have to start again.
