Does anybody have any experience of getting DVLA letters redirected? Ive just moved house and waiting for a V5C... Redirection started a month ago

Why wouldn't it get re-directed? Anything delivered by Royal Mail will be.

Not everything will get redirected.

A V5C will be fine...

Royal Mail said:
Is there any mail you can’t redirect?
We can’t redirect:

Mail for people who weren’t living at the old address
Personal mail from a business address
Items addressed ‘To the occupier’
Mail delivered by other delivery services or couriers, including Parcelforce
Mail addressed to a nursing home, boarding house, hotel, student hall of residence, hospital or other such multi-occupied premises cannot be redirected
Mail from a British Forces Post Office (BFPO) address
Items to an address outside the UK that are larger than letter size or clearly contain goods
Restricted goods sent in the UK using Royal Mail Tracked 24® and Royal Mail Tracked 48®
Any mail the law prohibits us from redirecting. For example we may be required to notify the authorities of Redirection requests for mail relating to government benefits.

Strangely I know of a couple of cases where V5’s have not been redirected but instead returned to DVLA. Both cases were duplicate V5’s where the owner had moved. Annoyingly both needed to send paper V62 applications.

Update:

I received both the V5C and Tax details from DVLA - They both got redirected
