Our car tax expires today - however we cant find the V5 documnet anywhere and the reminder sent from DVLA is in my friends house where i left it - friend has gone to Ireland till Saturday.
Is there anything we can do ?? Can we ring DVLA and get the reference number off the reminder they sent ? Cant go to post office as i said we cant find the V5 documnet. HEEEELp

From DVLA; -
"How do I apply for a tax disc without my reminder or Registration Document/Certificate?
To re-license a vehicle using this service you must always have a reminder or Registration Document/Certificate.
You will need to contact DVLA Vehicle Enquiries for advice. The telephone number is 0870 240 0010.
An advisor will be able to assist you: 8am to 8.30pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 5.30pm Saturdays"
However don't use the 0870 number, (unless you have a call package that includes them), use this one 01792 782341
.
Don`t steal - the Government doesn`t like the competition0 -
DVLA cannot give you reference number.
If you can, keep car off road from midnight tonight til your friend is back on Sat and re-tax.
Or you can go to your local DVLA office tomorrow and re-new tax. You will need to order and pay for a new V5 in order to do this - £25.
You will need
Valid Insurance
Valid MOT
V62 for new V5
V10 for taxing
£25 for V5
£ for tax
Proof of ID if changing address eg bank statement dated within last 3months.
As long as car is off road you have up to 14th to tax.
