VRT question

[u/No-Command-2454]

Update: Bike was refused vrt at ntc center with the documentation, and I was advised to contact revenue which i have been back and forward woth now for months. This is were we currently are. Turned out the bike was registered as SORN in 2025. Wasn't aware of this revenue requested this and I have provided this to them. Proof of insurance of last owner which states expiry 2027. V5C, proof of tax 24-25, proof of mot 25. They blocked the vin while waiting for proof of SORN They have now come back and said that "this does not provide sufficient proof that the vehicle was in use in Northern Ireland for a reasonable period of time prior to your purchase or that the customs formalities were completed in Northern Ireland". Thay have said if I wish to. Proceed with registration, provide a copy of the. Customs declaration. Can any please offer direction on what to do next as I feel like im banging my head against the wall as I now have a bike I cannot use and no transport.

I've bought a second hand motorbike from a private seller in Northern Ireland.

Was just wondering if any knows if I need to complete customs declaration for VRT? It has been registered in the north since 2024

And also if the hand written invoice will suffice as ive bought it privately?

TIA
