DVLA at weekends?

[anonymous-user]

Hi all, I'm going to sell my car on Sunday but know what certain Gov depts can be like, so my question is. . .

Upon visiting https://www.gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle

I see the notation of......... This service is available from 7am to 7pm.

Does this include a Sunday?

As there is no mention of which days the service operates only the times above

Cheers

99% sure it includes Sunday. it is the easiest way to do online.
If you miss the 7pm deadline just do it the next day, you don't need to notify them straight away as some people still send the paper copy to DVLA which would take a couple of days minimum to change over.

Yes, your webpage www.gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle I see the notation ( This service is available from 7am to 7pm. ) but I want to sell my vehicle on Sunday which isn't clear if I can?

The online site is open 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm to notify us of the sale.

If you sell the vehicle after 7pm, you will need to wait till the next day to notify us online.

Thank you, why wouldn't that be stated?

If it was a Monday to Friday service, then this would be stated.
