Changing address on V5, but already filled out the form incorrectly!

O.k, Im not as stupid as I sound! Promise!

I never got round to changing my V5 and so when I got married this year I filled out my form with my new name and address, and forgot to send it...

Now we're moving in a few weeks and I need to change it to my new address but the 'new address' section already has my current address in it!

I've looked online and can't seem to find an answer other than to pay £25 for a new V5, which obviously isnt very MSE.

Can I cross it out and re write it?

1 don't be so forgetfull next time

2 tippex it out and redo then add an explanetory letter,
if it works, fine, if not you have £20 to find;)

I only realised the other day and felt like a right tit! Lol

In my defense it was only 3 months ago and I needed my mileage so I thought 'ooh Ill check next time im in the car' and then didn't.....

Ill try tippex and an explanatory letter once we move

vaio

think I'd be inclined to forget the letter and just stick with the tippex.

If you start explaining that you haven't updated adress as you should have no good can come of it and you are inviting a bill/fine

Tippex for me too.
Also the mileage is a voluntary thing.
