Rang the DVLA last week to request a VIN number and a pack of all the reg forms. Got the form pack today, but no VIN - does it come seperatly, or do you think have they forgotten/mis-heard?

I sent them my made up VIN and it came back saying it was OK along with all the docs.

May be worth ringing them with one..

I made mine up and put it on the forms.

Made mine up (instructions on here somewere). Apparently this will not all-ways work, depends on your local DVLA office.. If you do this write them a letter to ask if this is o.k. (could take a while!!) before stamping it on..

I sent my own made up VIN to my local office and they sent back one of their's to use.

Thanks for the replies. I sent a letter to my local office a few months ago, but they never replied back. I'll give Swansea another ring. If it's an issue them supplying me a number, I'll quote them one I made up and see if it's all right.
