Lost V5c

I have lost my V5C and have a form to get a replacement. The problem is I got married since I first bought my car and can't remember whether the certificate is in my married or maiden name. Any suggestions on what name I should put on the form?

    I would put it in your married name and perhaps enclose a letter explaining the situation along with a photocopy of the marriage cert.

    hopefully'Flutterby' will be along to give more accurate info

  • Write your full name with the married surname and then "nee (maiden name)"
    Also enclose a copy of the marriage certificate and Swansea should issue a replacement V5C.

    Yep as Hartcjhart says fill out the V62 in you married name. Then attached a letter stating you are unsure if your old V5C has maiden or married name, state your maiden name on letter. And send with photocopy of marriage certificate.
