V5 arrived. Forename missing.

[bryan35]

Good morning chaps. The V5 has finally arrived for my latest dealer purchase. My full name is ABC, but for reasons better known to my parents I'm known day to day as BC as apposed to AC. The dealer has sorted the paperwork and my name on the V5 has typically come back as BC. The name is therefore not incorrect but does have A missing. Can this be left alone or do I need to return the V5 with A added?

Absolutely fine. Unless there's some risk of confusion with another BC?

OP, what forenames are on your Driving Licence?

On one of my V5Cs the DVLA omitted one of mine (admittedly not the first one) so it doesn't match 100% with my D/L.
Nobody who might have reason to query this (not even BiB) has yet kicked up a fuss, so I cba to change it.

As long as your surname is McLovin, you'll be fine.

I had exactly the same thing recently so sent the V5 back to Swansea to have A put on. I filled in the proper sections of V5 as instructed & returned it. It came back with ABC as a new owner & BC as a previous owner. They even put down a date of transfer that I never sent them.

So now I have me as another previous owner on the V5, I did think about sending it back again with a covering letter but I figured there's just as much chance of them cocking it up again as getting it right so haven't bothered.
