Documents when abroad (1 Viewer)

[injebreck99]

When travelling abroad with the M/H, do you have to have the origional documents to show if stopped, V5, insurance, MOT etc, or will photo copies suffice.

 

[Snowbird]

Originals only excepted, but take photocopies as well in case of loss or theft.

You will need the original documents, photo copies are not acceptable. It may be worthwhile taking a set of copies with you in case of theft or loss.

FWIW I've scanned all my important docs [house etc as well as motor and travel] and stored them as attachments in my internet email account. That way I can call them up from anywhere and print off a copy if I manage to lose the originals. Doomsayers will no doubt chide me about security, but it works for me! And as for the original question - I refuse to buy all the bits and pieces that are now 'compulsory' but religiously carry the original docs with me when abroad. I've been stopped once, and produced them with a smile [and no, I wasn't asked to produce a warning triangle, set of bulbs, breathalyser, French-made St Christopher...]
