Taxing without V5...with V5C/2

[P.]

Hello..

I'm needing to tax my bike. The V5 is nowhere to be found despite my awesome filing skills.

I have the V5C/2 that I got when purchasing said bike, however taxing online say "Nah, invalid m8" and won't let me do so.

Can you still get the post office Deirdre to do it using that or do I need to apply for another V5 and leave my vehicle untaxed on the road

Drop the first digit from the 12 digit V5C/2 number = 11 digit V5 number.

Might reject it, might tax it under the old keeper's details, might be great success.

No V11 reminder either?

If not then go stand in a line of 40 people sending ebay stuff at the Post office with a V62 and (I think) about £25 for a new V5.

I tried to tax at the post office with just the new keepers slip, got told I needed to fill a form in and handed a random form.

Went home and could see the form was clearly application for a new V5

So did it online

Conclusion: Post office = useless

Well...

Free v5 on order.

Taxed for 6 months.

Post office and DVLA do Dallas.
