V5c Unique Reference number - I am a pillock!
Discussion
Morning all,
i have recently bought a car from a good friend, and when completing the V5, I didnt remember to keep the "new keepers suppliment". Anyhow The V5 was posted back to the DVLA last week with this still attached.
so I have insured the car, and just had it serviced with a Fresh MOT.
All exited yesterday, I thought lets go to the post office and tax it, i was sure all you needed was A V11 the MOT and Insurance Cert. But Damn it, I do need the V5c/2 new keepers bit to do this.
So it can take up to 6 weeks for the new V5 to be processed! I was hoping to use the car before that, being a new toy and all that.
I have rang the previous owner, in the hope he has something with this reference number I need, old Sorn, or reminder! Fingers crossed he has one!
Simple mistake, but proving a little troublesome.
Can I ring DVLA Customer enquiries vehicles (0300 790 6802), and see if they can look up the unique refernce number for me, so I can simply tax it online?

I don't think it will take 6 weeks anyway.
From the times I've bought and sold cars, I've usually had the new V5 within a week, not that this really helps you.
On the other hand you can be almost sure that in this situation the DVLA will lose/misplace/misprocess the V5 or accidentally file it in a locked filing cabinet in a disused downstairs lavatory with a sign on the door saying "beware of the leopard", along with the public copies of the council plans for the bypass that's going to flatten your house.
