How to Apply for a V5C Using a V62 Form
If you’ve bought a vehicle but haven’t received the V5C registration certificate (log book), or if it’s been lost, stolen, or damaged, you can apply for a replacement using a V62 form from the DVLA.
What You’ll Need:
-
The V62 application form (can be downloaded from the DVLA website or picked up from a Post Office).
-
£25 fee (unless you’re applying as the new keeper and the previous owner didn’t send off the V5C).
-
The vehicle’s registration number, VIN/chassis number, and make/model.
How to Apply:
-
Fill in the V62 form:
-
Complete all sections relevant to your situation.
-
Tick the box for the reason you’re applying (e.g., “I have not received the V5C”).
-
Include the date you bought the vehicle and the seller’s name/address if you recently bought it.
-
-
Pay the fee (if required):
-
Enclose a cheque or postal order for £25 made payable to ‘DVLA Swansea’.
-
If you’re applying as the new keeper and you already sent Section 10 of the V5C to the DVLA, no fee is required — just include a note with the date it was sent.
-
-
Send the form and payment to:
What Happens Next:
-
You should receive your new V5C within 4 to 6 weeks.
-
If the DVLA needs more information, they may contact you or the previous keeper.
