Ordering a duplicate V5C, applying for a logbook on a car that's never had one, or updating your details, they all go through the same DVLA form. Here's how it works.

There's a flat £25 fee regardless of the reason.
The registration number, make, model and engine size of the vehicle, plus your name and address as the registered keeper. If you've just bought the car and the seller didn't hand over a V5C, you'll also want proof of purchase on hand in case DVLA queries the ownership.
Postal V62 applications are sent to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BA. There's no official online form for a straightforward duplicate request, which is why most of these applications are still completed on paper and posted, with processing taking an average of around 19 days based on first-hand experience of posting these forms.
The most common reason DVLA bounces a V62 back is a mismatch between the details on the form and what's already on their record, or an incomplete section. CarForms.co.uk lets you complete the details online, checks them against the usual rejection reasons, then prints and posts the form for you.
The most common reason, a straightforward duplicate request.
The previous keeper never left one, or it was never issued.
DVLA needs an updated V5C reflecting your current details.
Apply online in minutes via our partner CarForms.co.uk, they'll check, print and post your V62 form for you.
