You can do it in person at the post office

If its been Sorned you will need to take your vehicle registration document etc

ashg - 25/4/11 at 09:13 PM

find your v5 and use the ref number from that.

you have just saved me a whole lot of time! I and planning on putting my car back on the road in the next couple of weeks your post reminded me that it is still currently MOT (all be it to the 27th of this month) and insured!! dig out the locost file and ten minutes later its all taxed ready for the MOT centre!! Thank you very much!!

No you don't, i didn't anyway. I taxed a sorned car the other week by going to the local post office and saying i had forgotten the v11. No questions asked.

so you can tax a car without having the log book or the v11 renewal ? well i have the last v11 but its 6 months old now


blakep82 - 25/4/11 at 09:52 PM

yep, come on people read what the actual problem is!

sadly i don't know the answer, but i get annoyed when people start answering something that was never asked


Davegtst - 25/4/11 at 10:00 PM

Eh blake? Just go to the post office with your mot and insurance, take the v5 just incase, play dumb and tell them you forgot the v11. They didn't check to see if it's sorned or currently taxed, worked for me.

but you have to have the log book, the v5, thats what he can't find!
wouldn't be an issue if he could do it online, but the v11 is oout of date, he can't do it in the post office (untl he finds his v5) and he can't do it online!


ashg - 25/4/11 at 10:10 PM

i have the same problem. i tend to put important things in safe places where i wont forget then forget where the safe place was.

dont think you will be able to tax it at the post office without the v5. you should be able to do it down at the local dvla office.

time to rip the house apart and find the v5.


blakep82 - 25/4/11 at 10:13 PM

this any help?

says you can do it by phone... probably not the easiest/quickest way, but they might be able to give you some more options of info, or use the old ref on the v11? don't know, but worth a call?


graememk - 25/4/11 at 10:17 PM

thank you blake....

Did they let you tax it, or is that just an interesting anecdote of your trips to the post office?

more importantly DID YOU HAVE THE V5 TOO? lol because graeme doesn't, and its one of the things you MUST have to tax at the post office


Ninehigh - 25/4/11 at 11:56 PM

I didn't, that's why I posted it because I told them they had to accept the documentation I gave them as that was the documentation I needed. Turned out they were due to send a new v11 in about a month as that's when the sorn renewal was.

Thing is they either take it or they don't, and I'd have a nice time arguing that I'm trying to be legal so if I'm not allowed to be legal is it any wonder so many people don't bother? Think of all those uninsured cars in the country, maybe it's because you're looking at several times the value of the car just to be covered? Maybe that's why so many people don't.

However that's a different rant...

I have just done mine from sorn at the post office just looked on line to find out what i needed which is insurance/v5 logbook and mot if its due


post offices are like dvla centres not all know the correct procedure but the above is correct as per the dvla website

From DVLA website:
4 If you are already the registered keeper of a vehicle but have lost your
V5C, you can tax your vehicle at a DVLA local office, but you will need to
fill in a V62 and pay a fee. Or, if there are no changes to your details, you
can phone Customer Enquiries on 0300 790 6802 and pay a fee to apply
for a new V5C. When you receive your new V5C, you will be able to tax
your vehicle at a Post OfficeŽ branch that issues tax discs or apply online.

As Blake said, I would tax it by phone using your V11, even if it is out of date.
