Local D.V.L.A. and vin number

[TheArf]

Well yesterday I had the privilege of spending 1.5hrs at Chester D.V.L.A. trying to get a vin number only to be told they don't issue them anymore you have to fill in a form from the D.V.L.A. website.
The lady was very nice and actually down loaded the form for me and addressed an envelope as well.
So if you are thinking of going down to your local office before they close save yourself a trip and don't bother
