Application for VED/Tax at Post Ofice with V62??

Chaps

Quick question as the DVLA website appears inconclusive.

If the V5C has been lost/not received, can one purchase car tax at a Post Office, for a vehicle which has been SORN'd & provided the V5C is in your name, upon the submission of a V62 form and payment of the £25.00 fee?

Why is it inconclusive? It's quite straightforward.
If you're the current keeper (on the DVLA's database) you can, using a V62.
If you're the new keeper you must have the V5C/2. If not you'll have to wait.

If you do not have a V11, V85/1, V5C or V5C/2.

If you are the registered keeper of the vehicle you can tax your vehicle at a DVLA
local office. You will need to fill in a V62 and pay the fee for a duplicate V5C.
• If your address has changed, you will need to provide your driving
licence, an original bank or building society statement or a recent
utility bill showing your new address.
• If your name has changed, you will need to provide your marriage
certificate, decree nisi, decree absolute or deed poll.

Note: If you are not shown as the registered keeper on DVLA records you will
need to apply for a V5C in your name. To get one, fill in a V62 and post it with
the appropriate fee to DVLA. Expect to wait up to 4 weeks for a new V5C to
arrive. In the meantime, you should keep your vehicle off the public road,
fill in a Statutory Off Road Notification (SORN) form (V890) and send it
with your V62.

You're quite right actually. I've just re-read the notes under section F on the form and it's rather clear.
