Anyone know where they get the address to post this out?
Not an issue in my case but I don't recall entering a street address during the RUC purchase process.
Reminder to keep your registration address details up to date I guess.
I wondered that too. I'd just received my registration so I was less concerned.
Prior to entering your name and plate it says:
Changed your mailing address or email? Update your address first so we send the RUC labels to the right place. Make sure we've got your email address so we can email your payment confirmation.
It seems the vehicle is associated with a person (driver's licence), and the person has an address, and that's where it goes. For privacy reasons, they won't show the name or address, but it would be nice if they told you. I'm not sure how it works for companies. At least with the registration, you're usually working with a notice they sent to you.
We had a 'manhunt' situation happen on our rural property a couple of months back and I queried the cop who was directing things from our driveway as to where he was accessing data including my cellphone number, and that I had firearms on the property. He was drilling into my firearms licence info via his smartphone through the Police database.
He then asked me which property in the area had a pool as where the dog handler was showing up on the aerial map was next to a swimming pool. That just saved him having to navigate out from there to orientate himself. Quite interesting to see the tech these guys have at their fingertips these days.
