    nope, only remote option is by phone. Although their systems seem to fail a lot and cant even do that.

    I've done it by phone, took all of 2 mins. As long as the car is MOT'd and insured, it's all hunky dory.

    I never bother going to post office or sending off the form anymore. Over the phone take 2-3 mins max but an online option would be good.

    WTF is with the big secret about renewing by telephone? Ive done it before and there is not a mention of it on their website or my renewal. The only contact number online is 0845 402 4000

    Its a pain in the ass, cant renew tax in an ordionary post office with the new keepers slip, so you have to go to the tax office which is a ballbag when you work all week!

    Tell me about it - the only place I heard of and could find the number was on here. I spent ages searching through the DVLNI site looking for it.

    I'm convinced it used to be on the site, and they removed it - probably because it was too convenient.

    Or, more likely - because the staff had to process the application there and then rather than going and hanging around the photocopier for half an hour gossiping, then a quick spin into the subsidised canteen or the starbucks franchise for a bit of a break from their stressful day.

    In fact -

    I just had a look on archive.org

    Look at this

    DVLNI - Renewing Your Tax - Vehicle in Your Name

    They used to advertise it plain as day.

    Now the link to renew tax on their site redirects to this
