    I have an old honda 50. Will I actually have to take the bike in to get it registered. THe vrt is only €10 or so but if I have to take the bike in via trailer to the nct centre 50 miles away, it will be a major pain in the ass.

    Yes everything for VRT has to be brought to an NCTS centre. You had to bring everything the VRO before so no different. How else can they make sure you pay the correct amountfleece you?

    And then they won't have the bike on record so you'll have go home, then they'll call you to say they've now got it and bring the bike back etc.

    Got caught up with a lot of nonsense with this with a 73 honda just after the new system came into place last summer. After four visits to VRO / NCT etc. the following emerged.
    A. If you are registering a non-vingtage bike, make an appointment with the NCT, bring the bike, utility bill etc, etc. etc.
    B. If you are registering a vintage bike and want ordinary plates e.g. 82-WD-1234, make an appointment with NCT, bring the bike etc......
    C. If you are registering a vintage bike and want ZV plates then take your documentation into the VRO (they won't need to see the bike) and get your reg as you would have previously.

    1. Took me a trip to VRO ( sorry you need to take the bike to NCT)
    2. Trip to NCT two weeks later after making appointment. 40 miles with old honda. Checks that the frame number maches V5. No money due but - ( sorry you don't have a utility bill to prove who your driver's license says you are)
    3. Another trip to NCT ( Ok now we believe are who you say you are but computer won't issue a reg number - phonecall to head office who say take it to VRO as they can't issue ZV numbers at NCT centre)
    4. Rather determined and purposeful visit to VRO who say sorry ( you need to take to bike to NCT .... ) at which point I say STOP, this being the fourth time I have sat opposite somebody tryng to register the bloody thing and I have wasted two days on it and there isn't even any duty to be paid anyway.
    Person behind counter goes off to find somebody who knows what to do.

    Ten minutes later I leave with ZV reg.
    Totally logical isn't it
    ?
    This was last August. Maybe it has changed since.
