Taxing and car registration question?

Question

I have just bought a new car. the road tax runs out at the end of this month. i want to notify the dvla regarding the change of ownership by sending the V5C document. my worries are that it takes 2 to 4 weeks for the new V5C to arrive by post to me. without that if i try to tax by car then the new tax disc goes to the previous owner's address. i bought this car from a trade seller. so how do i sort this out.

Answer 1

If you take your part of the V5C (green bit) to a post office with your payment, insurance & MOT (if applicable), they will ask you to fill out a V10 form, which you can print out from http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/Own... or available from your local post office.

Answer 2

Go to the Post Office and tax it - tax discs don't come via the post.

Answer 3

You keep hold of the green slip part of the log book which you can take to the Post office and tax the car

Answer 4

If you go to a post office that issues tax disc they will be able to help you.
