Question by motman: Why does a UK V5c/2 state "This document will NOT produce a Registration Certificate"? A V5c/2 (the Green slip) WILL produce a V5c Registration Certificate, and free of the £25 fee. So why does it state "This document will NOT produce a Registration Document? Best answer for Why does a UK V5c/2 state "This document will NOT produce a Registration Certificate"?:

Answer by STEVEN F
Because YOU are misinformed. If the document states on its face it will NOT produce a Registration Certificate, it won't. Your source of information is unreliable.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS: Having made a very moving film about an incredibly important issue, Ted Braun has come to tell the story behind his brilliant Sudan exposé, Darfur Now. Ondi and Vlad get the details behind the launch of the project, enlisting Don Cheadle to be a cameraman, and the trying circumstances that go along with working with the Sudanese government. It is a fascinating show about one of the most heart wrenching conflicts on Earth that has gripped the attention of heads of state and George Clooney, alike. GUEST BIO: Ted Braun was born in Kansas City, Kansas and grew up in rural Vermont. He studied English at Amherst College and film production at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts and later taught screenwriting at both institutions; he's currently an Assistant Professor in screenwriting at USC. He has written and directed several award-winning documentaries and fictional films, on topics ranging from test pilots of aviation's golden age, to the historical Jesus, to the struggle for the civil rights of developmentally disabled citizens. He spent the first four months of 2007 in Sudan filming Darfur Now with unprecedented access to the internally displaced people of Darfur, international aid workers, the government and the rebels.
