V5C Logbook.

Padstow

I want to put my car into daughter's name who lives at a different address. Unfortunately I can't find my V5C form to transfer it.

Can she then fill in the form for a replacement as she is the new owner?

She has no license by the way as she doesn't drive. The car will be staying here and I am the sole driver.
Is there anything wrong with doing this, and could it cause her any problems?

V5 shows the registered keeper, not always the same as the owner.
Could cause insurance problems though.

Have you tried logbook loans? They may have it .

As long as any insurers that are covering the car are happy with the situation, I cant see a problem. (you the driver, insured but not the registered keeper OR your daughter has the policy, you're down as main driver and she gives the postcode the cars kept at)

Not many insurance companies will issue a policy to someone without a driving licence.

It all sounds so complicated.

The insurance etc is in my name, she would simply be the registered owner.

Not had a log book loan scotsman but since my world fell in, I would like the car to be another name. I understand that is perfectly legal. I thought it would be a simple matter.

If the V5C is "lost" then you have to pay the fee.

Why are you wanting to do this? Are you trying to avoid the car being a target of bailiffs?

The v5c would merely make her the 'Registered Keeper' not the Owner. You would still be the owner unless you sell it to her.

You would need to inform your insurance company that you are no longer the Registered Keeper. You may have to pay an admin fee and/or increased premiums.

That has nothing to do with it!

Yes you'd formaly have to sell it to her for a pound or something.

If she has a provisional license they might insure her on that with you as the main driver. Could make it slightly easier.

Beyond that, speaking with a good broker is the best way to find out what they can and can't do.

Edit to add all she needs to do is apply for the V5. They'll send you a letter saying someone is trying to register your car. Ignore it and they'll send her a new V5 out.

The OP's daughter does not need to be insured or for the policy to be in her name.

The OP simply needs to tell his insurer that his daughter is the registered keeper, the OP remains the policy holder and his daughter is not a named driver.

I get your point, technically true but it can cause all sorts of issues insuring a car you don't have an interest in though. they might do it as it is family but generally the question "are you the owner and registered keeper?" question is there for a reason.
