Hi Guy's,

Has anyone changed cars recently, how long for the V5 to come back in your name please???
 
I’ve been waiting for V5c exactly 4 weeks for it to arrive.
 
My new V5 took about 6 weeks (albeit including Christmas) - completed purchase on 12 Dec, received 2 Feb
 
Cheers Guys, thought they were pretty quick at the moment. Hopefully mine wont be too long.

lol started typing this when the first two guys said a week, then posted and now find yours have taken 6 weeks :rolleyes:
 
You might get a clue as to how DVLA are doing online.
You can see when the tax was cancelled by them, and the date of the last V5.
 
When people quote weeks, is that for using snail mail or all online?
 
Online is 2-3 days, all automatic, where as by post can take weeks.

Why would anyone do it by post though?
 
It was online but it still takes a lot longer than normal my Wifes which funnily enough was last June took a few Days mine this Year took 6 Weeks to the Day
 
Strange, I have done 2 last week and both took a couple of days.
 
Bought from main dealer before christmas. V5 took 7 weeks to arrive.
 
Bought from main dealer before christmas. V5 took 7 weeks to arrive.
Bought March and had to chase my main dealer when it did not arrive in 3 weeks.

'Oops sorry we forgot - will get it processed immediately'.

Arrived 3 or 4 days after this - seems they don't have a procedure in place.
 
We did one online about 5 months ago (in full lockdown) and the V5 came through the door in under a week.
 
Three to four days, assuming you do it on line. I get the sales person to do it on their terminal whilst we sort the tax out.
 
3 days, change of address online pretty quick
 
just done it. Came in a week.
