NCT test query

Michael B

My girlfriend's car's name is in her mother's name. She just got her date for her NCT test and it said to bring identification. Does the named owner of the car have to do the test or can my girlfriend do it? Considering the test is in Dublin and her mother is in Cork she's going to have to change the location if that's the case. Can't seem to find any info on my question on the site and they haven't replied to my email. Thanks for any help.

I must bring my sons car for test in 2 weeks
I also must bring identification.
His car is registered in my name so i would assume bring my identification;)

AFAIK anyone can bring in the car. Don't know why you would need identification! I have brought in several cars (not my own) and not even been asked for the cars identification never mind my own.

All you need is the log book

It says down at the end of the letter to bring a form of identification with you as you will be asked to present it at the test centre. Which is fine if it doesn't have to be the car owner and just be the person that drives the car. That's the part we're trying to figure out.

I've brought friends cars in without any problem, just bring her license and she will be fine.

On a side note if the insurance policy is in her name she will run into problems should she ever need to make a claim as the car is in her mothers name, potentially making the cover invalid and the insurer can decline a payout.

Don't worry just go

My dad used to always bring mine and my sisters cars which were in each of our own names

It's only whoever presents the car that has to have some form of identification on them, may not even be asked for.

Ah ok great, thanks for clearing that up.

No the insurance is still in her mother's name. When that gets changed over she'll change the name on the car too. Thanks for that though, will make sure she knows that.

I think they're suppose to check ID now, but both times I was in, they didn't bother. :rolleyes:

anybody can bring the car in...
no regulations about owner needing to be present...

look at all the cars garages bring in... and they dont own them all, the drivers

they won't even ask for id. Just log book to confirm the chasis number with the booking on screen

From what I saw a few weeks back (Limerick test centre) they don't ask for that. Maybe they do intermittently but about 8 people including myself were just asked for the confirmation letter and the money. Best to bring it just in case though.

Regarding the name, when I met the tester and he was handing me my pass result sheet he asked me for my name. I gave it to him and he said it wasn't the name he had on the NCT cert. I had bought my car privately 4 weeks earlier, and the previous owners name had popped up. He said to just ring the NCT center in Dublin and notify them of change.

was in twice this year. 1st car got asked for log book, cash and keys. Nothing else.

Got a car a few weeks ago, same thing, book, cash and keys. Also like above the name still hadn't been changed on their systems but they didn't care
