    Not sure, but can't you do it online, using the number on the v5c/2 ?

    Yes you can but you will have to pay the £25 for the replacement V5 as well as the tax due.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    If your tax has expired, then the V5C/2 will be too old to be used anyway - you can only use it for two months.

    V62 to get a new V5C is the only way.

    Yes, have you read the instructions on the V62?
