NCT tomorrow; what paperwork do I need ?

joebre

Have my NCT tomorrow. Their website says I need my Vehicle Licensing Certificate and a form of I.D.
I can' find my VLC at the moment.
Will they test my car without it ?

first time they didn't ask me for it. second time i asked if it was needed and she said "if you have it".

Absurdum

I've never been asked for it and I've done about 8 tests, last one was in Oct 2010.

Had my NCT couple weeks ago, all they asked me for was money!! but bring ID just in case and im sure there will be no problem if you cant find VLC

License, Logbook, Money...BOOM!

They seem a little more strict lately, last time around I was asked for the VLC first of all, then asked for photo id which I forgot but they accepted the VLC and then took the cash. The new company doing it seem more strict than the last, previously for 4 NCT's I was never asked for anything except the cold hard cash . I don't see why they need photo ID, it's unlikely someone will rob your car, stick it in for the NCT and pay the cash for the test for you.

I tested a car on saturday and I was asked for my licence and nothing else.

It's called Registration Certificate, not Licencing certificate.

NCT centres usually don't ask about them, and I don't think they refused to do a test to anyone who forgot it, but according to Law, they are entitled to require it, and refuse to proceed with a test if you don't bring it.

It's on their website as required but lots of people, in this thread and others, have said they didn't show it and it wasn't an issue.
Just go anyway if you can't find the VLC and chance it.

Car & money everytime for me.

Hi folks, thanks for the replies
First question I was asked was did I have my VLC ?
Told him I could not find it last night.
He did not even look up but asked how I wanted to pay.
Then asked me for my driving licence.
Most importantly, the car passed.
