    Just sold a car to a dealer there and although they gave me a receipt they didn't get me to sign the tax book? Did I miss something?

    Was it a proper dealer with a premises or some guy who said he was a dealer?

    Usual procedure for a proper dealer is
    If you sell your vehicle to a motor dealer, you have to complete a Form RF105 (pdf) (Notes), which is available from the motor dealer. The completed form should be returned to the Driver and Vehicle Computer Services Division, while the Vehicle Licensing Certificate and Vehicle Registration Certificates (Vehicle Registration Certificate for post-April 2004 vehicles) are given to the motor dealer.


    When selling a vehicle to a motor dealer in either transaction, a valid garage code must be supplied on behalf of the motor dealer. Failure to supply this code will result in the change of ownership being rejected - by either your Motor Tax Office or the Driver and Vehicle Computer Services Division. The motor dealer can only obtain a valid garage code from the Department in Co. Clare by fulfilling strict criteria. (See "Where to apply" for contact information.

    A lot of the dealers can do the change of ownership thing online these days so don't need you to sign anything.

    Keep checking here to see if it changes:

    If he's legit should be OK, you never sign it when trading in. Would be similar want to that.
