I've moved house and need to update the address on my logbook.

It says to fill in section 6 but don't write my name, just address. The last line is "post town" - do I not need to put postcode? There is a postcode box above this next to DOB, stupid question I know, should I fill that in?

I would say yes. Unconventional that postcode is above address, but that is what is presented.

Yup there is a separate box for the post code in section six next to the boxes you can put the DOB in - I have just done Mrs Shep1001 (V5C biggrin)

All worked fine, back to us in about 1 week

When the clerk inputting the data types the Post Code first. they get a dropdown menu with a list of addresses in that postcode area. they then select your address that follows.

Link above is for updating your driving licence address.

I don't think there is an equivalent for changing the address on a V5.

There is no online option as far as I can tell.

Note that if you pay VED by Direct Debit, you have to phone the DVLA to update the payment address; can't do it online or by post.
