    Hi lads I was stopped by the Gards today and I must produce an insurance cert in ten days the problem is he said the stuff carol nash sent me is all by email but he needs an original copy which I never got.
    Do Carol Nash normally post insurance cert?

    Get onto them and tell them that you need a cert posted ASAP. The insurance companies save a few quid by only emailing.

    Just print it out. Nearly all bike insurers send PDF copy. They'll just print the PDF they sent you. Same difference

    He's probably confused with actual insurance disks. I had that from a Garda a couple of times until I politely informed them that bikes don't have them and it's just paper work.

    Ring them, they'll send one out.

    You're paying them enough without doing their administration work for them as well.

    Dropped in a print out of insurance to the station tonight, they took it but they said they need original by right. Thanks lads, must buy a tax disk holder to.

    Funny you should mention that: my SO changed bikes on her policy this week. €6 change in cover, can't complain.

    The €45 administration charge for it otoh........... :mad::mad::mad:

    No you don't need to: the printed one IS an original.

    What they'll send you is the same document.

    Even my car one - with the green disc - came by email this year & last year.

    The usual waffle guard hasn't a clue.

    And the majority of government forms spit out this original nonsense when nearly every utility provider has moved to paperless billing. Time these lads woke up.

    reminds me of a needing a utility bill for a credit union transaction a while ago, CU = Credit Union, Me=Me :)

    CU: have you a utility bill ?
    Me: On my phone, yes.
    CU: No, we need a printed one
    Me: Have you a printer, and I can print if for you ?
    CU: No, we need an original
    Me: That IS an original. There is no hardcopy, like the banking, it's all in an App
    CU: The rules say we must have an original...
    Me: I can go home and get one (print it off on my printer that is), will that do you ?
    CU: Yes...........

    ....omg, I mean, really ??

    This

    If the guards have a question about its authenticity they can call the insurance company to confirm coverage

    This is crazy. Where do they think an "original" cert comes from? A printer.

    Days gone by i think they could determine an original sent from office versus home printing. but printers now are so good that original is utterly meaningless and needs to be removed from forms. It makes no difference anyone with MS Paint could put together fake documents. The law is there to prosecute those that do so.

    The original from the insurance company is supposed to have a green line as a watermark in it. I haven't received a watermarked insurance cert in years it's alway been just a print out.

    I had a time when I scanned a letter I got and the scan was too good they thought I'd sent them an attachment. Had to scan a 2nd time and leave the page off so they could see the edges!!
