Not sure the Post Office will accept a print out - otherwise you could make your own. I could be wrong, but that would be my first thought.

You can tax your car online, and then at least you'll know you're covered(ish): https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/

Some post offices will and other won't. I had to go to a small village PO to accept a print out of my insurance certificate.

I need to go to the DVLA office tomorrow, the car I bought was registered to a disabled peron who was exempt from tax, so I need to change the V5 back to Private and get a new disc.

But It needs to be done tomorrow as its the only day this week they will be open.

Swiftcover.com only do print outs, so they must need to be accepted surely?

I used these guys a few years back and printed off the certificate when i needed to tax the car, the post office bint queried it but i explained they are a paper free online company and this is what you have to do, she then gave me my tax disk, sorted.

Never had a problem with a printed copy, that said you don't need to present anything other than the V5 now.

If you don't mention its a printed certificate you should be fine. My mate recently went to tax his bike and mentioned it was a printed certificate and they wouldn't accept it. The next post office that did tax disks we went to we didn't mention the fact it was printed. They did question it I think but just told them it was what the company sent. If I remember quickly he didn't actually get anything posted just an email anyway.

I've had a Swiftcover printout refused - the Post Office aren't supposed to accept them but I think it really depends on the diligence of the Postmaster/mistress.

Ironically I went to the Police Station to produce my documents this evening (Licence and Insurance) following this debacle and they accepted the Swiftcover printout without a murmur of complaint

Someone who isn't me says that using home made insurance certificates to buy tax is easy.
