Applying for a registration number - Age Related Plate

There are two ways of obtaining a date-relevant number, that is a number which would have been issued in the year that you machine was first sold. 

As DVLA have now run out of early numbers you will only receive an old-ish number, but your bike will be registered as an historic vehicle and as such your machine will be zero rated for tax. 

To do this, you must prove that the bike is an historic vehicle, i.e. it is correct in all details, as it would have been in the year it was made.  There have in the past been people who were not honest in their declarations, DVLA are aware of this and will be blocking the loopholes.  We in this club will only make honest declarations, as this is the way forward for the future of the BSA Bantam Club. 

To register this way you must produce, to me, photos of both sides of your bike, so that I can be satisfied that it is what it you claim.  You must also give the following declaration on the back of one of the photo’s. The photographs need to be 6 x 4 sort of size.
 
I have inspected this motorcycle, on date at:

Address where seen_______________

I confirm that it is exactly as seen in this photograph.

The engine number is ________
The frame number is ___________
Date __________
Signature _____________
Name ________________
Address_______________
Status _________________
Tel No.________________
 
This must be filled in by a police officer, doctor, councillor etc, the same as would be eligible to fill in the reverse of your passport photo and rubbings of the frame and engine numbers must be included.
 
If all is well, I will then send you a dating certificate, which DVLA will accept as proof of age.  This service costs £20 for club members, and £25 for non-members.  Please make the cheque payable to the BSA. Bantam Club.

It may be necessary to have a local club member inspect the vehicle before we issue this certificate.

The bike must then be MOT‘d and insured, and then you can submit form V55/5 together with required fee (£55) and proof of your identity the the DVLA.

You may then be required to take the bike to your local DVLA office for inspection, and the issue of VIC.  Although the bike has an MOT and is insured you MAY NOT ride it on the public roads even though you have an appointment.

If you cannot fulfill all of these requirements then you may register as a rebuilt or radically altered vehicle, DVLA form INF 26 tells you what to do.

As a BSA Bantam club member I will, if so desired help you with this work.

I do not think I have missed out anything, if I have you will find out from the DVLA forms or me when you apply.

If you have any problems with the forms, please email me at dating.officer@bsabantamclub.org.uk
