With your logbook they will be able to register it nearly anywhere in the world.

So then photo ID for the NCT is pointless

And that logbook will never get back to Ireland. It will remain in the file where the vehicle is registered. All they would need is a faked contract of sale to satisfy the foreign police that they bought it from the name on the VLC. Once the new plates are on the car is lost forever.

I asked recently why they needed my drivers licence . And they told me the RSA were behind this change . He also said no I D no test now do you want the test or not I would love to have told him fcuk himself but I kept quite and thought it instead

All well and fine but its not the nct's job to police whether or not your license is correct its to test cars not the people who present them

Sure what difference does that make if they have the log book or not. They will most likely take it abroad either way and the car wont be found either way so the insurance will pay out either way.

They won't get far without a logbook anywhere outside of Ireland.

From 1st May 2012, failure to produce the required identification (driving licence/passport) will result in your vehicle not being issued an NCT certificate at the time of testing.Presenter ID now a requirement for the NCT."

So, don't forget your ID if you want your cert and remember if you are getting someone else to do your NCT for you, then they should bring their own ID and not the car owners.

This new rule has pretty much been in effect for the last two years on a casual basis as in if you didn't have your I'D then you'd still get your pass certificate put from May 1st you must have it.

This has been a requirement for three years, i was requested to supply id three years ago for 1st NCT, then a year later (1st test was for year only) and then again for the 2nd NCT, valid until this July.
