Sam Glover Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Does anyone have one lying around that they could pop in the post? I’ll send beer in the opposite direction. I’m in a hurry to register a Wartburg 353, but I’ve just discovered that my museum of forms requires restocking. V55/5s are no longer available from Post Offices and the DVLA’s form-posting service takes between seven and an infinite number of days. Rubbish country.

DaveDorson Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Aren't they printable and available online? https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/584803/V355X5-guide-to-filling-in-the-application-for-first-vehicle-tax-and-registration-of-a-used-motor-vehicle.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Glover Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Nyet, sadly. The V55/5 is a posh double-layer carbon paper sort of a do, so it's not downloadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw1977 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Apparently you need the 8/16 version too, not previous ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Glover Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 I got mine within two days. Good lord. I've never waited less than seven and have a success rate of less than 50%. Maybe I'm on a special list? red5 and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I'll have a look tomorrow. I'm sure we have some, but not sure if they're the latest version or not. I'll give you a call and let you know if I have any suck-sess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beko1987 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Can't you fill out 2 printed forms identically then pritt stick the tops together? Maybe even print one on white and one on green, and use a lighter shade of pencil for the 'underneath' one Craig the Princess and Jerzy Woking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Glover Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 A crisp V55/5 has just arrived from the DVLA... a mere five days. Could the DVLA be entering a golden age of bureaucratic efficiency? Heidel_Kakao and richardthestag 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heidel_Kakao Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It sure seems that way, V5's seem to always arrive within a week nowadays, sometimes in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
