Vehicle Registration & SORN DVLA FAQ's

Is your driving licence is lost.? Need to call on the DVLA phone number for Vehicle Enquiry?

Q- Am I provided with the grace period between the point of

sale, so that I can get my car taxed or drive the car home from a
nearby Post Office?
A- There is no provision for such grace period. If you want to use the vehicle, you
will need to have a new tax, instantly, at the time of sale. DVLA has always gone one
step ahead to inform that a vehicle without sight of the Vehicle Registration
Certificate (V5C) should not be purchased. If you are buying a vehicle, make sure
you have stressed on having the New Keeper Supplement (V5V/2), this will allow
you to have a new vehicle tax promptly.

Q- Is there any provision through which I can get

my car taxed, using online or phone service, upon
sale to allow me to drive my car legally?
A- The reply for this question is yes and it is available around the
clock and seven days a week. It is available using both online and
by calling at 0844 696 0055. The tax is confirmed at the moment
of taxing.

Q- What is the reason behind the decision of not

allowing the transfer of the remaining periods of car tax to
be transferred to the fresh owners?
A- This is basically a customer protection plan. Seeing the absence of
paper tax disc for checking, the vehicle tax will end as and when a vehicle
gets sold. This will prove helpful in removing any doubt for all those who
are purchasing the vehicle as it will mean that you will be always be sure
that you need to have a new vehicle tax and you cant overlook it.

Q- When should you, as a new owner, tax your vehicle?

A- Ideally, as soon as you have purchased the vehicle and made a decision to be a registered keeper on DVLA
records. You dont need to wait till the moment the Registration Certificate (V5C) gets assigned in your name to pay
the tax.

Q- Are the car dealer authorised to carry on to tax the vehicles on the behalf of the
customers?
A- Yes they are, by using V5C/2, either online at - https://www.gov.uk/tax-disc with the help of V5C/2 of V5C, or
finally at a PO branch who is responsible for dealing with the vehicle tax issues.

Q- Once the tax disc gets nullified, will the things remain same for the motor traders?
A- As and when a tax disc is enforced, the motor traders wont be able to buy the vehicles. They may use the trade
plates, but they have to ensure that the vehicle gets used well within the conditions of the trade plates. Alternatively,
if the vehicle needs to be registered in the name of motor trade, then fresh vehicle tax will be charged.

Q- Will there be any alteration for the motor traders to update about any transfer and sale
of the vehicles to DVLA?
A- No, there will be no such change. All those individuals or business which are registered as the keeper, they
should inform DVLA the moment they are have sold or transferred a vehicle.
