Anyone knows where I can get a V5C or how do I contact the insurance company that has the V5C document .

Bought a Cat B car and it has been exported , it had a light damage and car is now running well.

It’s a 2020 model , the country I am exporting it too is a 3rd world country and asking for Cat B. Showed them the BL and all documents but they still insist on V5C.

Anyone can help ?

Read their other post - sounds like they're trying to remove the Cat B designation by exporting and reimporting.
It’s exported out, water damaged car.

I am intending to use it out of the UK where it’s legal , but they just need the V5c document

Cat B means Break - for parts only

You won't get a V5 because it isn't a car, its a collection of parts
Very strange law as it should just be deemed not suitable for UK roads or Eu.

They can always blacklist the chassis / Vin numbers so it can never be driven on UK roads

You won't get a V5 for a cat B as they are not to be driven on the road again under any circumstances.
Yes, I wrote to DVLA and they said the same thing .

Is there any other documentation beside the V5c I can use to identity the car.

Thanks

Then you know the answer and are asking the wrong people I think. You need to ask the authorities of the 3rd world country it's going to surely?
Those people just want the usual documents , I guess I would just share the email that DVLA shared with them and see how it goes .

It's to prevent scum exporting and then importing them back

It's also to prevent someone buying one to use it's ID on a stolen car
Once you say in that way, it does make sense to prevent cloning .

A certain inspector of said marque regularly identifies such moody cars up for sale.
Oh well, such a waste when the cars they deemed cat B especially with flood damaged is deemed a parts card is basically useless .
