When you go to the DLT, tell them you have two transactions to do there with your certificate residence. They can give you back a certified copy of the certificate of residence to use for your other transaction.
They did this for me a few years ago, but things always change. I don’t know if they still do it now.
Now immigration wants you to buy the bike, show them a copy of the green book, and then they will issue a certificate of residence. It’s annoying but it’s an anti-scam measure that they’ve implemented.
