Check here, just put in the reg and it will tell you if there's a change in the process of being made https://www.motortax.ie/PSE

Did you buy from a dealer? Lots of times I have waited months for it to arrive from dealers, usually they either never had the log book to start with and are awaiting it from the person who traded it in or else they just are not ar$ed until you press them for it.

1. Wait a bit longer
2. If it still doesnt arrive, gently remind seller.
3. Still hasn't arrived? Remind seller in less polite terms.
4. Get legal advice.

You can also ring Shannon and ask them have they received it.

I'd suggest an old kitchen chair in a poorly lit warehouse somewhere, 4 heavy duty cable/zip ties, a pair of jump leads and a tractor battery might be useful in asking your postman where the hell your VLC gone.

Once he's unable to answer any longer (they're tough - apparently ex-CIA/MI5), you might consider using this same helpful setup with the seller to ask him which one of these scurrilous postmen has misappropriated the signed VLC thereby preventing it reaching Shannon.

If that fails to yield a positive result you could of course move the arrangement into the back of a refrigerated box body truck and take your one man interrogation suite on the road vising scoundrels in post offices up and down the country. Don't forget the sorting offices too.

I've been led to believe over the years by many people who have posted important paperwork (cheques/refunds/certs) that there's an underground network of disgruntled postmen responsible for causing these delays. They've never quite said so, but it's always blamed on the post, and the people therein must therefore be responsible.

If it's the post office fault, you might be wasting your time with the seller and the jumpleads. But it's good practice and he did, after all, take your money.

You've loads of options of course including ringing the seller to double check he's sent it, checking a change of ownership is in progress via that website and even calling Shannon (although they don't like that - something to do with trying to speak to members of the public with swollen tongues, missing teeth and the stench of burnt nasal hair distracting them....excuses, excuses).

Personally I imagine mine would be the most satisfactory. It won't necessarily pay dividends immediately, and the technique must be practiced, but you can then adapt it to suit banking institutions, political canvassers and candidates and most importantly your local automotive main dealer (motoring content - you bet).

As I once quipped to a postman sitting on the aforementioned chair when my readers digest didn't arrive on time, thereby necessitating reading the back of a bottle of bleach in the jacks for two weeks of crappery:

"Never were words truer spoken than with a pair of electrodes on your scrotum"

Turns out he didn't know what happened to it but he had an uncanny ability to sing the Our Father in a perfectly developed falsetto.

Hardly. I've 3 batteries to put on charge and a box body van to clean using a biological cleanser ready for a visit to Airtricity next week. I'm up to my eyes in important preparations you see.

Take a spin up to Dublin and drive up and down the M50 for the day.
When the registered owner gets the Toll Bill there will probably be a few phone calls and the cert should appear in your name fairly quickly.

ps. just ring Shannon 1st to confirm that they have'nt got the cert.

give it another week. it usually takes about 2 weeks but could take 3, it took jsut over a month for me once, another time (in fact the last car i bought) took 9 day. Remember it's a very inefficient system you're dealing with, and it comes with all the usual needless timewasting and complication that affects most state "services"/institutions.

It took me near 2 months to get my log book off a dealer, only after threats of legal action did it magically appear in my letterbox
