New car - DVLA timescales for new V5?

[55palfers]

Anyone have any ideas how long it takes for DVLA to organise a new keeper V5 these days please?

Thanks,

I did an address change this time last year and the V5 came back in just over a week.

Who knows? There's no consistency - I heard they had a Covid related strike (elf & safety related) which could have delayed things.

Changed my number plate last week and the new V5 arrived in 4 days. The retention certificate took a bit longer though.

Thanks chaps.

Sounds hopeful.....

If you do it on line, keep a screenshot. By post - a tracked post.

Bought car 26th April. V5 arrived yesterday.
No idea if it was postal or online as the Dealer did it.
Sent it back as it was wrong- has to be done by post...no idea how long that will take!!
