Used the V750 to put a private number plate on my car on Monday 24/02.

Name and address of registered keeper (me) all correct. DVLA vehicle enquiry service updated with new registration and shows last V5C issued 24/02.

DVLA say 3-5 days for delivery of updated V5C, but I haven't received it yet.

Wondering what people's recent experience has been as I've seen a lot of folk saying 2-3 days? Not sure if I need to be worried yet.

I have just taken a plate off of a car as it’s going to be sold. Paperwork and cheque sent off on Friday. Will see if it takes more than seven days to receive new paperwork.

how often do your receive post on time?
The postal system is creaking, a some people are seeing significant delays and people don't necessarily even realize if they don't get much post, so if you are in an area affected that will be on top of however long it takes the dvla.
