Everything youve said there is where you take the reg off before selling the car. That can take weeks so the alternative way was to assign it back about 2 seconds after sale. For that you need the V62
Theres a new way creeping in where everything is sent to DVLA and they do it one go

You really don't have a clue what you're talking about do you.

A V62 is an application for a replacement V5c where the original has been lost, destroyed, not arrived in your name when you've bought a car. As far as the DVLA would be concerned at this point the car still has the original owners cherished registration on it.

Can you also explain what on earth the bit in bold means.

I'm still not sure if that was the question Roo doesnt know what the answer is or not? It's worse than getting a wasp in your helmet.

No he hasn't. Assign what? To who? How?

If he blathers on about using a V62 again without actually explaining how he expects this to work I won't be surprised.

I think I understand now wink
For clarity its not the V62 thats used to do the transfer it's the V317
However the V317 says that if the log book is not present you need a V62.
The log book shouldnt be present as the seller should have sent it off as part of the process of selling the car and given the new supplement to the new keeper.
The new keeper (the buyer) takes the supplement and sends it off with the V62 and the V317, asking to transfer the plate back to the seller

We're seeing in recent threads that the DVLA may be treating the log book as present (even though it's in the name of the seller not the buyer) and accepting the whole package without needing the V62
Is that your experience?

Or have you managed to send off the new keeper slip only with the V317 and so no V62?
If you have that's interesting to know smile

Can't remember who said what (sorry), but called yesterday and had the same story twice now from the DVLA.

V317
V5 - full slip
MOT
£105 cheque

V62 is not required

Send to local DVLA office and wait.

Good
That's what's been said in recent threads
Did they mind at all that you were sending in the log book rather than the seller? It may be that as long as the seller makes sure someone sends it in theyre ok

They didn't even flinch, just said do these steps and we will give you a new reg and the seller his private plate back.

Update: V5 received with new plate listed, new reg plate details confirmed but they got the retention document and put it in my name.

Have been asked to send back the form with a note to the DVLA and it should all be sorted.
