Can I ask what your situation is please Luke regarding what stage you are with the reg process/ when your chassis number was allocated etc?
It might be a good indicator as to whether we are all going to start having to go through yet another ridiculous bureaucratic hoop to get a new build
onto the road. 
Cheers
Tony

*Applied to DVLA for VIN number October '14 - took 2 weeks til I got a letter back with VIN number.
*Applied for IVA test mid November. Nothing heard after 6 weeks, contacted them myself for the Z-number required to book IVA.
*Contacted DVSA(VOSA) for IVA and got a test date sorted for start of Feb but I was only available Wednesdays so that probably delayed it.
*IVA fail 2 Feb and took 4 weeks to get it ready for retest and then had to wait 2 weeks to get a slot.
*IVA pass 16 March and sent paperwork off immediately.
*DVLA contacted me 18 April to tell me I needed a NOVA certificate and been chasing that since.
Here my situation was slightly different because I was living in Germany when I was doing some of my build and as such some of the receipts I sent to
DVLA had a German address on them (I'm back in UK now). I thought that was the reason why I got asked to do NOVA but it seems that everyone is
getting asked that now. Anyway I submitted NOVA application online to HMRC. Then rang them and talked about the situation and they looked up their
rules and said I didn't need a NOVA. DVLA wasn't happy about that so I got HMRC to ring DVLA and explain that NOVA wasn't required
but DVLA still wanted a letter from HMRC. I finally have that and have forwarded it to DVLA so hopefully they can carry on....

It's just nuts isn't it, I struggle personally with illogical actions or words, I simply can't let it go and have to point it out, (
I work in computers, Microsoft drive me nuts daily) I'm not diagnosed autistic, but this really annoys me because someone high up in the DVLA
is making everyone do this but for no apparent logical reason!

Those of you that have had to go through this, would you recommend doing it before applying for your registration?

That would probably be a good idea although to be honest the whole NOVA fiasco probably only held me up 2 weeks. 2 very stressful weeks! Best advice
is to follow up every letter or email to either DVLA or HMRC with a phone call after a few days and keep ringing back (politely) until you get what
you're after. DVLA especially don't seem to do anything unless prompted.
Useful numbers:
DVLA kits and rebuilds - 01792782069 - Donna Kennet
HMRC - 03000583020 - Alex is the man to ask for as he seems to have a bit of common sense.

Agreed, if it becomes apparent that they are going to make this mandatory then yes when you apply to DVLA I would at the same time speak with the PTU
about getting an application in. They just need receipts and a date for when the chassis was completed as they use this for data entry. Might save you
a week or two. Donna is a lovely lady she ended up taking my app on due to sickness, and she calls you back to when she says she is going to. PTU team
are no problem but the process can seem confusing, and it is but I won't go there again.
Anyway my V5 turned up today!

Once you have a registration, you can get plates made up and drive it. The V5 will not be along anytime soon, judging by my experience.

They sent a form giving authority to have plates made up. If you have a reg number it may be quicker to get a set from an eBay seller.
