Taxing a vehicle after declaring sorn

I acquired a vehicle and declared it as SORN as it wasn't insured and I wanted to have it checked/mot'd before being driven.

Thankfully all good, service, cambelt and MOT.

Now, I cant tax the vehicle, apparently DVLA requires 5 working days after the sorn application to make any changes to the vehicle tax and I need to drive the vehicle tomorrow.

Any ideas if the post office will be able to tax it? I know on the past i was given a manual written disc and all was fine, but unsure with the electronic service...

Thanks
