HELP need a birth certificate

Morning mt van passed its mot this morning whey hey!!!!!! no advisers awsome made up last 6 days upto my neck in oil and grease paid off..

Just been to the local dvla to register it but they tell me i need a birth certificate to prove how old it is/date it was registered overseas.. you dont get a logbook in Australia till you register it over there mine was off the road in Oz and just went in the container..

Dvla say i need a birth certificate or something from an owners club????? ???

Now i notice Rickyrooo has a birth cert how do you get one, how long does it take??

Any phone numbers/email addys post addresses greatly recieved..

cheers Baz

 

you can get the year of maunfacture off the vin number if all you want to do is register it, the dvla are only bothered with exact dates if you want free tax, for example i presented all the paperwork in the world to say mine was built 6/3/78 and the log book says 1/1/78 on it, i rang them to ask why and they said it's default if we don't have to prove free tax we don't care so we just put the first of the month! the birth certificate can be got from the uk i belive mine was from germany and took a couple of weeks as they cocked it up.

 

T2 owners club can issue you a date of manufacture cert- http://vwt2oc.co.uk/

Use the following to decode your m-plate. - : http://vw-mplate.com/mcode.php?lang=EN&plate_type=70-79&p2_CC_CCC_CCC=CC+CCC+CCC&p2_MMM1=MMM&p2_MMM2=MMM&p2_MMM3=MMM&p2_MMM4=MMM&p2_MMM5=MMM&p2_PPPPII=PPPPII&p2_MMM6=MMM&p2_MMM7=MMM&p2_MMM8=MMM&p2_MMM9=MMM&p2_DD_D=DD+D&p2_UUUU=UUUU&p2_EE=EE&p2_XXXX_TT=XXXX+TT

I'm always a bit late responding, but here goes. When i reg'd mine a few months back, I took a print out of my m-code decode and used that. The lady behind the desk was fine with this.

Mine said: Planned production date - Friday, 29 September 1978

 

Cheers chappers, i'll have a go at that tomorrow..

its in the garage now and a pain to get at..

 

No problem, if you click on my sig linky - I just printed that off (in colour lol). Took mot, insurance docs, and 'title' from the PO. Went to the Cardiff offices, 15mins job done. Letter in the post, plates made up, on the road, took 2 weeks.
