How long for V5 to arrive?

Post by Napoleon »

It's been getting on for a month since I picked the car up - but no V5 has arrived here yet.

What's a reasonable time to expect it to come from DVLA?

They normally arrive within two weeks but that is entirely dependant upon the previous keeper posting the V5 promptly,,,,

The previous keeper gave my my slip from the V5, but if I have to apply for the full V5 in my name that I think that's going to cost me - I haven't looked at the exact costs as yet, as I was hoping the guy would have done what he's meant to do. I'll give it a few days.

Hmm, this gets harder... I need to tax the car, but can't do it on line as it says if I do then the disc will be sent to the previous keeper, which, trust me, is the last thing I wish to do.

I now need to get the V5 sorted before I can tax the car. :roll:

Tax now at a Post Office or DVLA local office using the slip which is valid for 8 weeks from slip date.
DVLA only accept phone calls about no show new V5 after 6 weeks from slip date.
Pick up a V62 at the same time in case you need to apply for a replacement V5.
The V62 allows some exemptions from payment including where PO fails to submit old V5 and you have slip.
They usually fine the PO £100 in these cases to cover their costs.

I can use the new keeper's doc to tax the car? The old keeper didn't have the MOT either.

Yes, gives details on the back of slip.
No paper MOT could be a problem.
The only official MOT record is the computer one but not sure if a Post Office can check this electronically.

if your new V5 does not turn up i wouldn't send them a V62 because you are not at fault, i would just phone them to ask were your V5 has got to as its been X amount of weeks since you bought the car and you have not recived the V5 as yet,

can you not go back to the previous owner for the MOT or ask were the MOT was carried out, then you can get a duplicate from the test station, this will cost you possibly £10 which im sure it is less than DVLA charge for a replacement V5,

when i registered my DS in my name i wanted to keep the original old style registration certificate, so i left it a good few months then contacted DVLA to enquire were my new V5 had got to, they took my details and sent me the new document with no charge,

V62 states that there is no fee applicable where the previous owner fails to tell DVLA of vehicle disposal.
See section D on form notes.
Type DVLA V62 into Google or similar to see a copy of the form and its notes.

Phone application involving change of owner will most likely add to the delay not solve it.
DVLA have to verify change of ownership by writing to previous registered owner to check on disposal of vehicle.
They then have 6 weeks from the reply (if they get one) to produce the new V5.

At long last, it's arrived. This only happened because I sent off for it.
