Still nothing and finally managed to get through on the phone to DVLA this afternoon. Apparently the V5 section was shut down in March and has only just re-opened and they are dealing with the backlog in chronological order. Strangely, when I changed the number plate on my other car 2 weeks ago, the new V5 came within a couple of days I bought a car in May and it arrived in about a week. The Cardinal posts months. Plate retention, sale of new car, purchase of new car and finally plate on new car has involved 3 new V5s in the last 3 weeks or so.
All done online, all with V5 at my door within 3 days. Justin Case 2, posts months. My wife is in the same position. Retention certificate and new V5 for the old car came in about five days, but no sign of the V5 for the new car after three weeks.
Print entire guide. Step 1 : Check the vehicle before you buy it. Check the details you've been given match DVLA's information Check the vehicle's MOT history Check if the vehicle has been recalled because of a safety issue Check the log book isn't for a stolen vehicle.
Step 2 : Buy and register the vehicle. Get a reminder when your MOT is due. Step 3 : Insure the vehicle. Check if your vehicle is insured on the Motor Insurance Database Read about vehicle insurance.

In both cases, part of the process may enable you to list your car under an original or age-related registration number if possible. A car does not need to be sold on for an ownership transfer to take place. There are many scenarios where the ownership may need to change.
Examples, where a change of ownership may be needed, include parents giving a car to their offspring and divorce settlements where one side may need to take ownership of a car from the former partner. If you sell or give away your car then you will always need to switch the legal ownership to the new owner.
To transfer ownership, you need to fill out sections 6 and 8 of the V5C form, fill out all the details and make sure to tick the box that asks if the vehicle is changing keeper. Once these parts of the V5 are filled out, you will need to send them to the DVLA at the Swansea address detailed earlier in this guide.
