Birth certificate how long?

Hi all

Does anybody know how long it takes for a vw birth certificate.
I paid and had confirmation in March and since have had no word. Is this normal?

Thanks for any comments

 

Thanks for the quick response.
I thought as much however the missus deleted the confirmation email and it's not clear on the web site who to contact

 

They are slow at present the average wait is 6 - 8 months currently.

 

I am still waiting too, I think I did mine in June or may, now I've got to re tax!

 

5th of August, so looks like a while to go, i have both the confirmation emails if there of any use to you

 

Deleted emails can always be recovered - it's a bit of a drawn out process but can be done.

Don't ask me how though - has something to do with archived files I think!

 

I'd say more like 6-10 months now

 

I signed up to The Volkswagen Owners Club (online only version) and got their man on there to give me a birth certificate letter which may or may not be good enough for the DVLA - I will update this thread ASAP as my application for first registering my USA import and historic vehicle at the same time went in the post today as 6 months+ is ridiculous from Auto Museum Germany!

 

Thanks for all the replies. I'm going to try to contact the museum.
I don't want to m.o.t my van twice before driving it on the road!

 

when do you think your bus was made ?? have you done an m plate check yourself ??

 

I think the bus is a 78, I've not done an m plate check as I'm not sure that this would be good enough to avoid getting a q reg plate.

 

ah ic , forget what ive said then , i thought you was getting it for tax , perhaps one of the boys who have imported can guide you like @Top Banana Racing or another ??

 

I have a list of people who can "officially" date your VW as distributed by DVLA, it is at work though

 

We just ours back. Sent off payment etc in March. We sent many reminder emails.

 

It took 9 months for mine but well worth it as can now apply for free tax! The lady doing it has been struggling from staff shortage, sickness etc... I think she was a bit stressed when I emailed to complain, it did get it done though. (Not so sure about German efficiency!)
