What documents do I need to import a car from the North?

Hi Ger,

There isn't a strict list of required documents as the situation depends on the car itself and when it was first brought into or registered in the North. There's no such thing as too much information, however, so gather what you can.

For the NCT VRT inspection you will need:

The UK logbook (V5C) Purchase invoice or receipt Proof of identity Proof of address PPS number

To ensure that no VAT or import duty are payable, obtain the car's MOT test history (showing that it was used in the North) or any information relating to a customs declaration in the North if the car was imported there as a used vehicle by a dealer or the previous owner.

And always check with Revenue before you commit to bringing the car over the border.
