Should I register my UK car in Ireland?

I have taken a car from UK where I was living back to Ireland, the car is worth about 200 Euro; is it worth changing it over?

Hi James,

You mean get it re-registered? Yes, you have to — it’s the law. Thankfully, as it’s a change of address, as long as you can demonstrate six months' previous tax and insurance in the UK, it will only cost you the price of the new numberplates.
