Selling a car privately after 7pm
Discussion
I have taken a deposit on my car and the buyer is collecting on Tuesday night. Only issue is he’s not able to get here until 7pm. I am aware that the DVLA system only operates daily between 7am and 7pm.
Naturally I want to make them aware as soon as the money is received that I’ve sold it to avoid any potential points issues.
How do I play that ? Are they able to tax it (I’ve currently got it taxed) ?

Thanks for the support guys. For those thinking I’m being dramatic… I just want to do it right. I want the buyer to tax it when he takes it so I can do change of ownership
Once you do your change of ownership the tax will end, your tax. . The buyer will be able to tax the car with the number on the new keeper slip even before you change ownership on line . Remember some people still post the filled out form to the DVLA, not recommended.A dated and timed receipt is what you need . Two copies both signed by both of you ,keep one each .
If you received a NIP after the car has left you , it would simply be a matter of saying you were not the driver of the vehicle.
Search on Google for an AA Car Sale contract, print two copies, and fill out the details. On the invoice, record the VIN number, exact mileage, and the time the car was handed over. You don't want them driving off getting a ticket and blaming you. Take photos of both copies, along with the buyer’s and seller’s driving licences. That’s what I do. Of course, be cautious of banking scams — make sure the payment has cleared, and for your safety, accept bank transfers only.

You wouldn't be selling your car to me if you insisted on taking photos of my driving licence, or even demanding to see it for that matter. Nothing to do with you and none of your business.Edit: I think I'm talking to an AI bot

Interesting how bizarrely some buyers insist on going to insane levels of checking all aspects of both the car and seller but when asked for their own basic id they refuse for some strange reason. Presumably they have something to hide.
If I was selling a car to someone in the above category and they refused id the sale would be cancelled.
