DVLA - new reg - how long to show?

[Upatdawn]

Been sent my new cars 15 plate reg, but its not coming up on the DVLA VED checker, how long does it take cos ive got to arrange insurance

Why do you need to wait to get the insurance? Are they reliant on the website then? I wouldn't have thought so, but then I guess you've already tried.

Which insurance co were you trying?

well I cant insure a vehicle that doesnt exist can i?...if my insurers enter the reg and get no details....

i need temporary cover for 2 weeks to get to changing over my taxi insurance while i fit a meter and get the BRAND NEW car an MOT....

I am a bit confused you say that you have been sent your new cars registration plate,so why was the plate not on the car when you bought it.

Then on your next post you say you have to get your new car an MOT,it does not need an MOT until it is 3 years old.

It appears to be a taxi so I'm guessing that is needed even on a new car.

Well, all I can say is that I've never had any issues registering our company vans with our insurers when having just the reg and no physical vehicle. I just tell them what the reg is, what the vehicle is and BOOM it's all done.

Sounds more like an insurer issue that anything. Ours are with Allianz.

Went through this with my insurer recently.

They did not recognise the reg, but they fully expected this. They just took the model and spec manually and all was well.

Just been through DVLA site display change times with DVLA. BEFORE the usual culprits get the flame guns out, I was interested in the VED status of one young berkmobile who likes to park opposite at AM times, with full car with "music" soundtrack from some WildWest Indian village ,pre attack. My bed was dancing to his bass volume( and NO- we are MUCH too old to even contemplate that). Car showed VED expired, so a quick call to DVLA confirmed this ( and a change can take up to 5 days to show).
However, to night, I saw a pleasant sight. An unmarked car disgorged some officers. Then another. And an hour later, a van appeared, to take into custody, some boxes, a few bags ( size of large suite/dress bags, and according to Mrs WM, some electrical kit ad a large sheet of shiny sheet.
SO- TO any Warks BIB in CV10 AREA- , and lets hope when the Gardener appears in front of he gets sent somewhere to learn how to do gardening properly .
