| Thu Oct 25, 2007 1:46 pm Registering my bike....(How to register your bike) |
|

The following documents are needed..
when your bike is delivered you need to write down the engine number and the frame number on a piece of paper, this becomes your first document
Doc 2...next you need to get a sales receipt to prove that you own the bike.
Doc 3... is an EC Certificate of conformity which you get from the importer or the person who sold you the bike
Doc 4... is a DVLA V267 Declaration of vehicle newness signed by the importer and filled in with a description of the bike.
Doc 5... is a DVLA V55/4 application for a first licence for a new motor vehicle and declaration for registration.
Doc 6...is a Customs and Excise C&E 389 from the importer to state that they have paid all the customs charges due.
Doc 7... is a UK photo driving licence.
Doc 8... Is a certificate of insurance for the bike...(Hastings direct will supply you with a certificate on the last 6 digits of your frame number..and then you phone them with the registration number when you get it.)
Doc 9... is a current utility bill.
the next step is to post or deliver these to your nearest DVLA office with a fee of £50 first registration fee and £15 for a bike under 150cc for Tax (road fund license)
You will then be issued with a TAX disk and a V5C registration document and a V948 numberplate authorisation certificate
The final thing you need to do is to take the V948 and your photo licence to a bike shop to have the number plate made!
So I'd be right in thinking I can insure my bike via frame number on the first of november, then take these documents into my local dvla office.
So would I be able to register + insure the bike even though I'm 16?
Would save a few days and mean I can ride the bike on the 13th when I turn 17 :shock: |

You can tell the insurance people to commence the insurance on your birthday. I doubt you would be able to register it before then, because your insurance wouldn't come into force until your birthday. You might be able to register it on your birthday, but not before.
By the way, that's a great "how to". I'll stickify it in "hints and tips" |

| Not all insurers will insure on the frame number and some charge a fee for doing so, thats why I ended up getting the company I bought mine from, registering it for me. |

:cry: Utility bill? But I have no utilities, so I don't get no insurance? Cant get no utilities, because I cant get no job, because I cant drive, because I'm not insured.
:twisted: WELL your just s.o.l. Proceed to the nearest poorhouse and commit yourself. Shoulda thought of this before you decided to have poor parents! |

You don't need to do this as it all should be on your paperwork anyway.

Does not have to be photo driving licence a lot of us don't have a photo driving driving licence as we paper licence's before the photo licence.

In this province (Alberta) for a 50cc scooter you require:
1) learner's permit (class7) minimum
2) bill of sale
3) VIN # on a sheet printed from the dealership
4) insurance
Registration and plate cost approximately $30.00 CAD.
Insurance cost $66.00 CAD for the year. |

Over here in the Philippines, your new scooter's first registration is handled (and paid for) by the dealer. Yearly registration (and the minimum third-party liability insurance) totals to around 1500 pesos (something like 36 US Dollars.) This is a flat registration fee and insurance fee, whether its a 50cc or 1200cc.
Your driver's licence just has to have the "restriction 1" on it, permitting motorcycle operation. There are no restrictions on what motorcycle you can drive (just make sure it isn't stolen one!) |

I have a couple of questions on registering my scooter - have all the other things, they have just been sent to me but I had a question on these two items.
Sales receipt - having bought the scoot from fleabay - what kinds of documents have people on here taken to the DVLA...the congratulations you have won email? Just wondered how people had got on and whether this is one of those items that's waived in this instance.
Insurance cert - why do you need and insurance cert to register a scooter - is this required to get the tax disc rather than register the scooter? Just seems strange to need insurance to register a bike...having typed all that I am convinced its only needed to tax the bike and so you could do that at a later stage if you ran into trouble with the insurer wanting a reg number before insuring?
Anyway, any help on first question or second ramblings apprecaited.

I insured mine with Rampdale in October and they would do it with the chassis number for an extra £15...
Obviously I got the dealer to register it for me, and I did it with the plate number, but the option is there with Rampdale... |

| They asked me what the number was and I said I didn't know because I've not got it yet (I wanted it insured as soon as I got it so I could play) and they just shrugged me off and said I couldn't do anything without the reg number. |

Just an update on this, I didn't need the sales receipt and I insured my bike through bike sure...only £80 for the year but had a £25 admin charge on top...but still way cheaper than a car! :D

- A moped has pedals to assist the operator. The distinguishing
characteristic of a scooter is that it has a step through chassis.
- A scooter with an engine size of 50cc or less does not have to be
registered or tagged.
- The operator of a scooter must be at least 16 years old and have a
license of some class, or a moped operators permit.
- A scooter (or moped) may not be operated on any roadway with a posted
speed limit of more than 50 mph.
- A scooter or moped may not be operated at a speed of more than 30 mph.
Some jurisdictions, like Baltimore City, do not allow for the operation
of any unregistered motor vehicle, so please check your local laws for
more information. |
