Heres an email I received when I asked for a birth certificate a couple of years back.

I maybe need to try that email address again as I have been in touch with VW customer support who friendly enough but not much help. Told me to look at my registration documents from DVLA.

I got one but it’s not correct:o

Although it does make my van tax and mot exempt , do I have a dilemma?

It happens occasionally that’s why there’s odd registration plates sometimes
