Is there any way to tax a car online if you have no pin?

It's a pain in the rear to go to the office

No pin because its an import, lost PIN or change of ownership?

Change of ownership

As far as I know if you ring them they will issue you a pin to renew it online

I think the first time after a change of ownership you have to go in, thereafter you can renew online.

Just got it sorted but had to go in:mad:

Can't understand why it can't be just done online

I emailed them at motortax@transport.ie and they issued me with a PIN within minutes.

This can be done once it appears as changed ownership here: https://www.motortax.ie/PSE/start.do;jsessionid=0aa0114730d83d243a04ce16490f86bd963881abb305.e38PaNaSbh0RaO0Mb310?page=welcome

That doesn't work if it is a change of ownership.......I tried

Ah sorry, mine was an import.
Did you try their Lo-Call number?

Nah I just had to go to the office.

I though the office hours were short and I wouldn't make it as they are at home in Tipp.

In Nenagh they are open strange hours, at awkward times and only a couple of days a week or at least they used to be.

I've been taxing cars online but just bought this one

rubberdecky · 22-07-2011 12:25pm

That is not surprising, am pretty sure those office makes their hours up based on how they feel on any given morning

10:30-12:00 and 2:30-4:00 Mo-Th only? Welcome to the public service

BTW I rang Shannon once and had a pin in the post within a few days

To defend my sis-in-law who used to work in tax office,they work full ofiice hours,the hours you quote are open-to -the-public hours.

And from the stories she told us,that was quite long enough dealing with the public:o

johnos1984 · 22-07-2011 1:26pm

Well with the hours kept to a minimum and awkward times I imagine face to face contact with their customers was kept to a minimum.

Sorry I have nothing good to say about the motor tax office so I' leaving it at that.

The Wicklow office was very pleasant though I'll admit this morning with a first...........nice, friendly and efficient staff and it was open

John, when I first taxed my new car, I rang them in Nenagh. They said that since it was my first time that I had to send the form.

They only open from 10 - 3 and phone lines are only open from 10:30 - 12:00 or something stupid like that.
