	I bought a car from a dealer at the end of January (non retro Nissan) and still haven't received my new V5c. Is this a normal waiting waiting time at the moment or do I just have to apply for a new one? As this process involves two of the most inefficient organisations in Britain- the DVLA and Royal Mail. should I assume it's got lost in limbo somewhere at this stage? How long are other forum users waiting currently?

	The last two times I've done changes on the V5 through Post Office counters, it's taken 4 weeks to get back to me.

Obviously everyone's experience is different but I've never had a problem with either of them. I use Royal Mail a lot for small/medium parcels, have done for years. The new(ish) Click & Drop service is great order & pay online and they collect the next day with a pre-printed label Last time I used the DVLA for a change of V5C it was back in days.

	From the GOV.UK website When you’ll get your new V5C You’ll usually get your new V5C within 4 weeks of the vehicle being registered. You’ll get your new V5C within 3 to 5 days if both of the following apply to your vehicle: it’s a used vehicle the seller registered it to you online Checking your new V5C When you receive your V5C, it’s your responsibility to check all the details are correct. If anything on your V5C is wrong Make the changes on the V5C and send it back to DVLA. DVLA Swansea SA99 1BA You’ll get the replacement V5C within 4 weeks. If your new V5C has not arrived If it’s been 4 weeks since the V5C was registered or you sent it to be corrected, contact DVLA. Contact DVLA before 6 weeks have passed. If you have not received your V5C after 6 weeks and you have not told DVLA, you’ll have to pay £25 to get another one. If it’s a used vehicle registered by post There’s a different way to get another V5C sent to you. You’ll need to: download form V62 or get it from certain Post Office branches send it to DVLA with the new keeper slip given to you by the seller The new keeper slip needs to be from the most recent V5C. Check that the date on the slip matches the last V5C issue date on the vehicle enquiry service if you’re not sure. If you do not send in the new keeper slip from the most recent V5C, you’ll have to pay £25. Contact DVLA if your V5C has not arrived and it’s been 4 weeks since you sent in form V62. LINKY

	Have you checked the registration on the gov.uk website to see when the last V5 was issued? Brian.

	Didn't about that site, I've just checked and my new form was issued a week ago. (still a long time after the sale though) UPDATE! On a related note I've just had a speeding fine notice for my old car that the same dealer took in part exchange. Obviously I've passed their details on to the plod but the DVLA is still showing the V5c last issued in Aug '22 That car was on their website but isn't now so it must have been sold, presumably to the person who was speeding. This leaves me with two possibilities:- 1. The dealer is really curse word with their admin regarding change of ownership, or 2. The DVLA need to stop WFH and actually do what they're paid for.

Having dealt with "the other side of this" i.e speeding tickets, i can state that what would normally happen was that if the details showed the car as "in trade", we'd send an accompanying letter to the previous owner advising that it was known that they no longer owned the vehicle, but please could they advise who it was sold to so enquiries could begin. My guess is that the car could still be in the trade, and simply passed to a different dealer, or, like you say, they're dreadful with paperwork!

	Hallelujah! The V5c finally arrived after seven weeks and re-applying. I presume the original copy is lost in a dark corner of a sorting office somewhere in Britain. Still a blink of an eye compared to the 7 months I waited for a new photo licence during covid times (or the 11 months my dad waited for his)
