How do I retrieve my tax renewal PIN number?

I have lost my tax renewal PIN number and form. Is there any way of getting this instead of travelling to the tax office and queuing?

Hi Paul,

We spent over half an hour on hold to the tax office for this one! You can call them and give them your registration number and they will send out a new form the following day. Call 1890 411 412, go to the Motor Tax menu, then avoid all the options other than 'queries' and 'other' until you eventually get put on hold to talk to someone. Then put on the kettle and wait it out... Oh, and this line is only manned for a couple of hours in the morning and a couple in the afternoon.

Hope that helps.
