Not got a V5

Well, its not arrived yet? I emailed the DVLA and they told me they never received the V5 from the previous owner and I was told to fill out a V62 and send off the V5/2 (the rip-off part the new owner takes) and submit that....

I also phoned the guy again and he assures me its been sent and told me he would look and phone me back, still waiting on this phone call 5 days later Rolling Eyes

Anyone ever had to fill one of these in? Just find it a bit odd that the DVLA have never received it and this guy ain't phoned back.

DVLA say to allow six weeks from signing the V5 to getting the new one.

As you say, if you haven't heard by then you can fill in a V62 (download https://www.dvla.gov.uk/forms/pdf/V62online.pdf), attach the 'new keeper' part, and send it to DVLA (there's no fee if you have the tear-off slip). This itself takes a while, because they have to check with the previous keeper.

When I bought my last bike it took about seven weeks for the V5C to arrive - it turned up in the post the day I sent the V62, so the two had crossed.

It's only a problem for you if

a) You want to sell the bike (buyers like to have the V5C)
b) You need to tax it. The tear-off slip is valid for tax purposes for two months.

Not selling it and its taxed for 9 months but would be nice to have this V5.

Don't want to send this V5/2 part off in case that goes missing too! Feckin DVLA, no good, my last bike they sent me the new V5 and also sent a new V5 to the previous owner as well!! So would the 2 of us get done for speeding?? Thinking

I waited for two months for nothing to arrive.
Two emails and one returned phone call later, I realised I was still in possesion of the part the DVLA needed to process my V5.

Doh!!!

Sent that off pronto, 1 week later my new V5C turns up.... Thumbs Up

Maybe I was just a lucky minority.

Took 2 years for my Blade V5 to turn up and 9 months for my GSXR1100.

The Vespa one took 19 months as DVLA claimed it wasn't registered in the UK. They were wrong.
