I have recently bought another car and had to transfer my private registration plate from my old car onto it. I sent the application 3 weeks ago with both full v5s and mot certificates. I have since received both v5s and have yet to receive the mot certificates. Do they still send you back mot certificates ?

In the old days the replacement MoT would come through with the tax disc and 'numberplate making authority' letter - presumably these were done at the local office, with the V5 coming through later.

The last couple I've done recently, the V5 arrived first with the MoT coming a week/10 days later. Rightly or wrong, I put on the new plates once the V5 arrived.

as from 9th March the DVLA no longer reissue MOT certificates.
However, some we've received back, mostly we haven't.

i had this 2 week ago - firstly dvla rejected my application for no reason, then I received the v5 back and no mot. About 10 days after that, a MOT certificate showed up.
