Applying For A V5.

[joelewis]

The bike is a 1985 Honda RTL that I bought from Steve Saunders, it came with no V5

I want to get a V5 sorted - how do I go about it?

Any advice would be great.

Tons of threads on here already about this but the one thing that changes is i think all the DVLA local offices close in November so all has to be done via Swansea...

Also see VMCC link. They have a dating service (For bikes) if you have trouble with Honda...

When you say no V5, do you mean it has a registration number but you haven't got the log book or that it has never been registered at all and you want to register it?

Two completely different processes

First one is easy, just complete a V62 which you can download off DVLA website and send it to them with £25 fee. They'll write to the last recorded owner for confirmation but if they get no reply within 2 weeks they issue you with the V5 anyway

To register it, you first have to get it (more accurately, the chassis number) recorded on the NOVA database with HMRC as without it being recorded on there DVLA won't issue a registration number for it. Recording it on NOVA tells DVLA that no VAT is due on the vehicle. DVLA now check the NOVA database on every V55/5 registration application they get. If the vehicle isn't recorded on NOVA they send them back to the applicant.

found the dvla office in Northampton really good, as stated above they are due for closure as listed here http://dvla-offices.co.uk/dvla-local-office-closures/
