Can we help with registering a Motorcycle with no paperwork?

Its a question we get asked all the time…

The process of registering a motorbike is not without its complications, largely because there’s less in the way of documentation. We tend to find that the vast majority of our customers contact us when the DVLA rejects the paperwork they’ve provided for a whole host of reasons.

We’re quite used to panicked conversations, and desperate pleas to illustrate what might have gone wrong.

The question is, what can My Car Import do to simplify the process?

We’ve been doing this for a long time! We have a team of experts who are highly experienced in acquiring the correct documentation from manufacturers to ensure that your bike can be registered in the United Kingdom. And it gets better, we can undertake the entire process on your behalf! That means submitting that paperwork accurately so that your motorbike can be registered with ease.

Depending on your unique circumstances (and motorbike spec.) we can also assist with the process of importing your motorbike, modifying, testing, and getting it on the road!

Getting it right the first time means that your motorbike is with you in the shortest amount of time. Take the stress away by allowing us to take care of it for you.

If you need some help sourcing  paperwork to assist in the registration of your motorbike, we can offer support in the following ways:

Certificate of Conformity (CoC)

You'll need a Certificate Of Conformity if you want to import and register your motorbike in the UK. My Car Import can take care of this process for you. For more modern motorbikes, we can also assist in acquiring a CoC direct from the manufacturer.

Dating Certificate

We'll help you acquire a dating certificate which will enable you to get an age related number plate for your motorcycle. For older motorbikes, we can help gather the required registration information.

Former UK

Returning a former UK motorbike to the roads in England and need some help? We'll get you everything you need.
