Can you UK based guys get one off the net or do you have to do an extra module on your vhf licence ?

That depends! If the boat already has a licence and has a call sign then an MMSI number can be requested in addition. If the boat has never had a ships radio licence then your statement is correct.

Each time a renewal is made then a booklet is sent with the renewed licence, in that booklet is a form which can be used to update the information held.
