Details

Use form V62 to apply for a vehicle registration certificate (V5C).

The V62 is a print only form and cannot be completed digitally. The completed form must be posted to DVLA (including a fee, if appropriate) and not sent electronically.

You can get a duplicate vehicle log book (V5C) online if you do not need to change anything in the log book. You’ll be able to tax your vehicle at the same time if you need to. If you need to make any changes or you’re not yet registered as the vehicle’s keeper, you must make an application by post using form V62.
