Has any one used the online change of owners system and how long does the email take to arrive is it instant
I am buying a bike next week from a private seller.
Thanks

4 to 6 weeks if you're lucky, don't expect DVLA to be quick/accurate/correct about anything, ever.

I used it for my Speed Triple - filled it out online on Monday, following Monday v5 dropped through letter box... Gobsmacked at the speed of it tbh...

I used it last night , there's a box to tick to ask for an email confirmation .
My email came in about 3 mins later .

One of a few good ideas the govement has done .

Cheers

Thanks ebbs73 that's the info I was after
I plan on buying the bike and I had heard about the online method and just thought it would be good to get instant verification of ownership after handing over life savings

Sold my last car and last bike with the online service, both times got an email confirmation within an hour and postal confirmation within a few days. Only downside is the website is closed outside the hours of 7am to 7pm (no, really!) Rolling Eyes

Ok then No problem
I won't be out on the rob anytime soon Very Happy

Thanks all for the info gained
Will try and get the bike bought before 7pm
And I think I will try the online route as it seems to be faster and maybe safer!!!!!

Err.... The new owners part of the V5, on the second page, fill it out in your name and you can do magic things like tax it at a post office, or, even, show it to plod as PROOF OF F ing OWNERSHIP!

The V5 is essentially the sucker thats gonna get fucked for tax/sorn cock ups, hence its registered to my cat.

I await the court letter sending Dylan the Cat for failing to SORN.

I have lost the V5, so re-applying for that should be lulz. Laughing

Dylan won't be happy with you.

Sorry arry
I never answered your question nothing has got me particularly worried I just read that you could do it on line and wanted to know if the forum users had any yay or nay reasons not to
I am a little confused on the proof of ownership thing but am not planning to attract plods attention so shouldn't be an issue
Police documentary that's I have seen show anpr cameras saying whether bike has a registered keeper or not so surely if there needs to be a registered keeper then that must act as proof of ownership
Also when you sell a vehicle buyers would expect to see the logbook/v5 in the sellers name
Obviously being new to all this at the tender age of 46 I stand to be corrected/ educated

So. Lets see what we have here. You have the new owners form, properly filled in with your name and address. It is respect of the motorcycle whose registration number is clearly shown. You have proof of identity that you are that same person whose name appears on the new owner form of the V5c....... Am I missing something here or am I not the owner, or keeper, who in law, is responsible for the legality of this machine? If not, I have been conned sixteen times this year alone.

Not entirely on topic, but I realised last week I hadn't got my v5. Thursday call, v5 Monday!

Thanks shaft
Makes more sense now
Seeing as tax insurance are done online I might as well do the v5 online as well
I will let the forum know how I got on
