Blimey Chris.... how long do you think it takes!

For what it's worth, you don't necessarily need your certificate at the Post Office. They can check if they want to, I've taxed a car without it before at our local PO.

But Pleiades is bang on, it only takes a few days for it to come through the post if you do it on-line. If you did it today (Friday) it will be with you Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

As long as you do it before the end of the month (and you currently have RFL) you have 7 days grace in any case to allow for it to arrive. You don't get any grace if you tax it after the month starts.
