Tells you on the tax form.

If you haven't got one you need to pick one up from the PO.

Will need: Insurance certificate and MOT if car is over 3 years old#

Hope this helps

a tax form?

i thought that you could just take the documents (insurance and MOT certificate) and ask for tax

As above... It clearly states on the tax form what you need to present when applying for new road tax.

Remember at post offices, they will only accept cash or cheque.

Did you know you can buy your tax online? You can use a debit or credit card. Check the link here. (http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/?SKIN=directgov)

Edit:- Did you not receive a tax reminder form then? If you haven't, it doesn't matter but all the information you need to know is on there.

no, got the car on saturday, but it hasnt have tax since the end of july (when i didnt have the car)

so is it ok if i just go in with the two documents and ask for tax? or do i still need to pick that form up?

There is a form at main post offices that you can pick up as long as the car is insured and has a valid MOT certificate

If there's been no tax since july then was the property SORN. Sometimes you have to go to a DVLA office to get the new tax. I had a nightmare doing mine.
