I require insurance for this to be done, but the insurers say they will only insure me for 14 days until they recieve a registration number, and if i done give them one within 14 days they policy will be void, my payment lost, and they will no longer insure me. Within 3 days they phoned me up with the number plate so i could insure it before i picked it up. I think it's just a matter of getting all the relevent docs and taking them to dvla.. so they can issue a reg num, You should also be given a certificate with the reg on it... this is for getting new plates made up until the log book comes your way. The importer should do all this for you and just phone when registered.... then you insure it When mine was imported the company prepping it took care of all that for me. I had a private plate for the car and sent the paperwork for that on to them - but they sorted out all of that.- and I insured it from there on - job done... I had everything done for me. They registered it and put the plate on and told me the date I could collect it, I just then arranged insurance on that day.(about 7 working days), but it would have been quicker if i went to pick it up, poss something like 5 working days(today), the letter did arrive today, addressed yesterday, so they hadn't sent it off until i rung to complain!.... It should take no more than three days for the DVLA to issue a tax disc and plate. Done this many times and I've even had the registration as quickly as the next day, a few times.
