    There used to be a registration cert you got when you registered a car, it was of no real use to anyone, it was accompanied by a vehicle licensing cert

    Then they changed it and there's a new vehicle registration cert which replaces both of the old documents. It's blueish grey, the car details and owner details are on one side, and the transfer of ownership is on the reverse side.

    The dept. hasn't updated the rf134 form for replacement docs, so it still gives you the option of requesting either of the 2. whichever one you pick, you'll get a replacement vrc.

    Yeah, some people call it that.

    Vehicle Registration Certificate

    The Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) (Amendment) Regulations, 2004 introduced a document for registration and licensing purposes in compliance with the requirements of EU Directive 1999/37/EC. The Registration Certificate constitutes the registration or 'log' book for a vehicle and is generated by the National Vehicle and Driver File (NVDF) when a recently registered vehicle (new and imported) has been road taxed for the first time and upon each change of ownership (other than to a motor dealer) subsequently.

    The registration certificate is an important document and must be stored carefully. It will be required when the vehicle next changes ownership.

    The Vehicle Licensing Certificate predates the Vehicle Registration Certificate and ceased to be issued in May 2004. However this Certificate may still be associated with vehicles registered before May 2004 which has not changed ownership in the interval. In such cases a Vehicle Registration Certificate will be issued to the new owner upon change of ownership.

    Where a Vehicle Registration Certificate has been lost or destroyed Form RF134 must be completed and forwarded to the vehicle owner's local motor tax office. This form must be witnessed and stamped by a member of An Garda Siochana. This form is available at all motor tax offices or can be downloaded at http://www.motortax.ie. A motor tax office will charge12 Euros for this service.
