VED with no V5C, green slip or V11

[Lozw86]

I need to tax a car next week but don’t have any of the above docs. I’ve completed a V62 to obtain a new V5 but it’s snail mail only and may take weeks. Is there any way of taxing the vehicle? I need to use it and don’t want to SORN it. Can’t find any clear guidance on the GOV site. Thanks

Has the car been transferred to trade? If it has its
Instant at the post office. If not check the .gov site, get the VED you need and enjoy the 4 week wait before you can use the car.

This is assuming you have recently purchased the car, if not and you are the keeper just V10 / V62 at the post office.

No not transferred to trade

I’ve had the car a year. I can’t get tax at the post office without a V5. The V10 specifies that a V5 must be produced. Tax cannot be obtained by completing a V62; the V62 is an application for a new V5 that must be posted to the DVLA

[Lozw86]

Any experiences with this?

Might ring the DVLA tomorrow to enquire.

Sounds like you’re stuck until you’ve got a V5.

If you are keeper why not apply for a replacement V5 online?

Just fill out a V62 at the post office & pay the tax due there. How have you got into this situation where you have had the car a year but it still isn’t registered in your name?

My address has changed so I can’t apply online for a new V5, it must be by V62 by post

You can’t buy tax at a post office with a completed V62 form, and even if you could, I’ve posted it to the DVLA

You can phone the DVLA and pay to tax it over the phone

I did this when waiting on a log book for a car I had purchased (came with no paperwork so had to do a V62).

Chap on the phone was very helpful.

Thanks, I’ll do that tomorrow
