Vin Number Help
TKPM - 19/9/16 at 01:02 PM

Someone please help me ,

I'm trying to get hold of DVLA so I can get a VIN number.
I've tried ringing them, but just get left on hold,
I can't find a current address to write to them and I can't get anywhere online either.
And my local office is a 5+ hours round trip away

Any info would be of help.

Terry

Not anymore it isnt - its an infinite round trip as they don't exist!

My local is Swansea, in a straight line it's only 50 miles, by road its 175 miles.

I have now been given the correct phone number and I have spoken to them, just waiting on some forms.

Thank you all

Swansea will just put a SAE in your hand and turn you away, unfortunately we have no choice but to go through the motions
