Tax help please!

We need to renew our tax disk, but our insurance cert is a pdf we don't have a paper copy.

We can't renew online as it just won't work for us, always comes up with errors. (Has done for the 3 years we've had the car)

Is there a way around getting the tax today without printing off the certificate? We have no printer and would need ot use the car to get somewhere to print it off...

If not i'll have to find someway of getting to a printer, but wondered if i could show the ceft on my phone or something???

thanks!

Don't you know anyone nearby with a printer, a neighbour say.

Will the Post Office accept a printed copy?, they would not at one time, things may have changed.

I think they do now as they can check validity at point of issue.

A copy printed on a decent printer can be indistinguishable from an original.

The OP hasn't got any printer, let alone a decent one.

I know. That is why I suggested they ask a neighbour.;)

Does the car show up as insured on askmid.com?

Good question, if yes, the OP should be able to tax it online, if not they should chase up their insurers.
