Before you can tax the vehicleThis was the right answer

For a vehicle registered in Northern Ireland, valid insurance must be in place when vehicle tax is renewed. At a Northern Ireland Post Office, take a paper insurance certificate or cover note and the required MOT or exemption evidence. Great Britain no longer checks insurance during the tax transaction, but insurance duties still apply independently.
