Has to be the worse reason for keeping a foreign driving livence while resident in Ireland...therushman said:2. The police/garda can not put points on it for speeding ect (yet)
therushman said:4. you will need to pay to register you car here 25% of current value depending on how long you have had it for see revenue.ie VRT
i also have a problem registering a car.my husband brought a car in 6 months ago for my use and is the owner.we have had the car some years in the uk.my daughters partner took the car to be registered when i was on a short visit to the uk.[i am a pensioner and did not wish to drive such a long way]there seems to be some problem because he is owner and i am resident in ireland but he is not as he is still working in uk and we are amicably separated so he is not likely to become a permanent resident here.for some reason everything is possible if we pay 700 euros vrt.i do not understand this as it clearly states on web that a car owned abroad more than 6 months is exempted.he would still be the owner so does anyone know why.
Advice from some one who moved form England in 2000
1. keep hold of your UK licence at all cost they are valid in Ireland
2. The police/garda can not put points on it for speeding ect (yet)
3. get you present insurer to give you a copy of your no clams bonus as it will speed it up when renewing here
4. you will need to pay to register you car here 25% of current value depending on how long you have had it for see revenue.ie VRT
Good Luck
