Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Don't think so? There is a service in Dublin that offers to pick up your car and bring it to the NCT centre and all for you, so that would suggest it's not needed?

    No it doesn't have to be the registered owner.
    They may ask for ID before issuing the cert, not sure why, but you don't have to be the owner.

    You have to present a valid drivers license. Your name doesnt have to be on the log book.
    I bring my wife's car for its NCT.

    Owner doesn't need to be present but person presenting the car needs either a passport or driving licence.

    They always ask for ID from the person presenting the car, I've never heard them ask for the VLC which is also supposed to be checked.

    I've always been asked for the VLC and never been asked for ID.

    I always bring logbook and ID. Usually get asked for ID if the car is not mine and in a female name. Any male name they must assume it's me but they never bother with logbook.

    My local center want both, without exception. They will withhold the cert unless you can produce them

    Aren't they meant to ask before the test even starts ?

    Yes but they still do the test, they just tell you they cant give you the cert until you can produce them. Its "meant" to be the standard procedue
