When do I receive the V5?
Paper copy
If we have a paper copy of the V5 this will be in the vehicle that you are collecting and can be found on the driver’s seat or in the glove box.
If you believe there should be a V5 but cannot find it in the vehicle, please speak to the Gate Marshall or loader driver.
Please ensure you always check before you leave site to avoid delays in receipt of the V5 information.
Electronic copy
In all cases where the vehicle has a V5, once the vehicle has left our premises you will be sent an email. The email contains the V5 number, instructions, and a link to the DVLA website to change the ownership of the vehicle.
You will also be able to find the V5 number in your account under Payment History.
What do I do next?
Once you have your V5 number, visit the DVLA website here and fill out a short online form, selecting that you have sold the vehicle, to switch the ownership of the vehicle to the new owner, using the V5 number.
You can view our handy guide here.
