Application for an age related registration number

Where a vehicle does not have a registration number, you may apply for an age related one.  Alternatively, if you require an age related number because of lack of evidence relating to the original registration, the age related number can be substituted for the original, subject to approval. DVLA will require proof of the year of manufacture and this is normally done by having an Official Date letter from the Records Officer. The decision of the Records Officers as to whether or not an application will be endorsed is final and if rejected, the Club fee is not refundable. The local DVLA office will need to inspect and approve the vehicle.

To obtain an age related registration number you must have:-

• The fully assembled machine. Do not apply if you have only the frame or parts
• A current certificate of insurance or cover note for the vehicle
• A current MoT certificate for the vehicle
• A copy of DVLA Form V55/5

Send the following to the NOC Records Officer:-

• A completed application form
• Two photographs of each side of the complete machine in its current condition
• Photographs and rubbings of both the Frame No. and the Engine No.
• If the engine is not a Norton engine, e.g. Triton, send the details of the engine and the cubic capacity
  
• Payment to the Norton Owners Club:     Members £10     Non-Members £25

When your Official Date Letter is posted to you, you should then make the application through your DVLA local office
