(and if the car is insured through A-Pln then your whole insurance policy is will probably become void in a few weeks!).
Happened to me when I bought my car.Seller had certificate from an authorised Clifford installer.
When I collected the car the certificate had gone missing and was never found.
Insurance broker initially said car insured but not for theft until produce certificate.After a few weeks the insurance broker said if don't produce certificate then whole policy void.

I called them to say its a fully working Clifford(and fairly confident of the model having seen the certificate before it was lost) and can demonstrate it to them.
They declined, said needs to be a certificate from an authorised installer.
It was going to cost about 200 quid to get it re-certified by an authorised alarm installer(and vsib don't exist any more so I had to clarify if my local alarm installer would be acceptable).
Didn't think it was worth spending that money to re-certify an old alarm that could start playing up in a couple of years.
It was cheaper to have it removed by an authorised alarm installer and have something else fitted brand new that was acceptable to the insurance company.![]()
What a waste of money and hassle just cos a certificate was lost by the previous owner.Perfectly working alarm ended up in the skip
