Delays registering change in ownership

Our man in Havana

Are there delays in Shannon these days? What is the normal timescale to register a change of ownership and send out a new VRC?

Always been less than a week here, got a log book in last week so I'd say it took about 4 working days

This is handy if you want to check the progress.

Would't worry , often seen it taking 2 weeks, it depends how busy they are.

just sent a change of ownership of today so hoping for a 4 day return
as im eager to drive the car.
on a side note when the car i purchased is registered in my name will
i receive notification of the tax due on the car as it is out since last month. as said above want to drive the car asap but with no tax dont want to risk it. is there anyway of speeding up the process or do i just play the waiting game. sorry if ive hijacked this tread.:eek:

You will have to wait.

Just download form RF100A form motortax.ie and tax the car using that.

I waited 3 weeks for paper work to come through last march.

I would imagine there would be some delays at this time of year with staff taking annual leave.

I just worried that the guy I sold my car to is running around with no insurance racking up parking tickets that my be pinned on me.

I've actually seen one where it took just about 2 months to go through.

I sent one last monday after selling my car and it was changed on motortax.ie on thursday.

Mine took about six weeks as the original log book was lost in the post. Had to get a form from the gards, and go to Model Farm Rd to deliver it in person.

In the meantime, had to drive about with a copy of the form in my glove box in case of a pull, as of couse unable to tax the car without the log book!

The new one took about a week to come.

It will be dated back to the date that was wrote on the form. It does not matter how long it takes to process.
