Thanks @BigDave That’s extremely useful. Isn’t it incredible how antiquated and manual the systems of these organisations are? I guess that to modernise and computerise things, and bring them into the 21st Century, would reduce the head count needed, so they probably resist them!
At least I have a route map now and I shall probably start the ball rolling two months out to allow for the bureaucracy and competence levels!
Quick question – Once you are in possession of a certificate of entitlement, do you just have to show it each time that you change your car (and retain it), or do you have to surrender it in order to get the vehicle VED exempt and then apply for a new certificate each time? Thanks.
