Old green tax book

[ckerr]

How do you apply for a new tax book when you become the new keeper of a vehicle that has one of the really old green card type tax books?

you cant, as such.
a buff book does not automatically generate a V5C like a V5 does. it can be used as supporting evidence to obtain the cars original registration number, but you are effectively doing a 'new' registration, and if dvla don't want to give you the number on the buff book, they don't have to. also, expect them to ask to inspect the car before issuing a v5c.

Its not a car... its a 1994 Scooter a Suzuki AE50.
Has previous owner details etc on the book.
It is in Northern Ireland too.
Can I just apply for a new V5C as if I had never been given a tax book?

[Dez]

Don't know what the hell you're on about with tax book then, that should be on a v5.

[ckerr]

Sorry... either which way the green piece of paper is called (I always called it a tax book)
How do I use the old style green one to apply as the new keeper as it doesn't have a new keeper section...

Have you tried looking at the DVLA web-site?

Can you do a Google images search to find something the same as what you have and post it here?
A '94 scooter should have a V5 much like a modern car. You shouldn't be having the problem you say you're having.

I think the tax book is a Northern Ireland thing, Forde has been through this a few times going by his posts
