I assume it's a priavte meter then, not the DNO's?
If it's a like for like replacement no need for any paperwork.

Dno is network operator, so their meter is the main meter which is being changed to a smart meter for billing purposes. Max tail is 3m.

I have just cancelled out the de-scoob given to you for this comment. I feel that is a just request. I would hope a calibration certificate issued to myself if I was ordering such works.

Should you carry out testing? Yes definitely, at the bare minimum you would need to confirm that the polarity is correct!
How should you record this? A minor works certificate seems appropriate unless you are going to design your own purpose made certificate, I should think you also need to record the reading on the meter you remove along with the starting reading of the new one. Also as mentioned above proof of the meters calibration/ compliance with the MID.
there is no limit to the length of meter tails on a private meter, unless the regulation about the reduction of CSA prior to an ocpd is being used when it would be limited to 3m. If the tails are suitably protected then there would be no limit to the length.
