 How long for V5C to arrive - car change / at PO - Old Sock
On the 16th April I taxed my latest acquisition at a local Post Office (on the same day as purchase, as it was untaxed). The new V5C has yet to arrive - before I start to panic, how long does it normally take when done through a PO?

Doesn't it say somewhere to allow 5 weeks?
Mine didn't arrive so I rang and was advised to fill in a form to get a new V5 in my name. Shortly after that came, the other V5 triggered by the PO came too.
So I now have two V5s.

Thanks for the tip-off. I only hope the DVLA/ NKVD don't get there before I get home. I might end up frantically eating the compromising document as they hammer the door down.

The V5 for my new bike hasn't arrived - I bought i a touch over five weeks ago - I phoned the garage yesterday they confirmed the V5 was sent to Swansea "with a batch of others". DVLA turn stuff around a lot sooner usually - not holding my breath.

i usually hold back 7 days before sending these off in case i get a moany groaner
strangely i delivered a car last night and i think i got one (a moaney groner) so i might keep the left hand side a little longer in case i have to buy the car back
i tell my customers 6 weeks from day of transfer as what dv say
