VIN Number Stamp Confirmation
Just got sent my VIN today by the DVLA, it had the following section on it.
IMPORTANT
To facilitate registration it is necessary for the dealer/garage to confirm that the VIN has
been stamped or permanently embossed on the vehicle. Please ensure this letter is
authorised below by the dealer/garage and returned to Kits & Rebuilds , D4, DVLA,
Swansea SA99 1ZZ. REGISTRATION WILL NOT TAKE EFFECT UNTIL THE
DVLA RECEIVES THIS CONFIRMATION.
I'm not quite sure what this means, surely during my upcoming IVA they will asses the stamps/plate and confirm accordingly? Is it referring to
the registration of the vehicle post IVA, or registration of the VIN to the vehicle I've claimed it to me.
Also. when filling out the forms, what should I be registering the car as. Its chassis is built based on the Haynes Manual, so its Haynes Roadster,
or a Locost? Its also got multiple parts from MK and I bought the part built project as a MK Locost, so I'm not entirely sure what to do.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

Can ignore that bit, its not relevant to kit registration. Had the same on mine.

Thanks! assume it for people changing their VIN.
Next is to try and ensure I get an age related plate, and that its an amateur build, as I'm lacking a few receipts :/
I have no idea what I'm doing.

I sent off very few receipts and was fine. Photos of build are more important I think. As for age related plate, the big thing is proof of newness of
chassis which needs receipt that states new.

I went for a Q plate, although I could have had an age related plate, it makes things far simpler come MOT time

Makes very little at mot time now, emissions standard for mot is set at Iva, even for Q plates.

Side question:
Getting a VIN. Is this all you need to do pre-IVA, before you submit your request for an IVA?
The process is not very clear and quite convoluted, so I am trying to write a simplified thread for people who are new to registering a car.
Cheers,
Josh

Ahh, pictures are also a bit of an issue, the project has been knocking around and changed hands a few times, so I have limited pictures of the
original heavy lifting to fit the major parts.

As for this, I believe getting the VIN is the only process requirement pre IVA, its the first thing they check on arrival I believe
I have no idea what I'm doing.
