The DVLA have announced today (June 18) that motorists who need to update the address details on their vehicle log book (V5C) can now do this online in a matter of minutes.

The service says the changes mean it will slash the amount of time it takes for motorists to receive a new log book from up to six weeks to just five working days. 

Using this new service, it takes less than 2 minutes for motorists to inform DVLA of their new address. All they need is their vehicle registration number, log book document reference number and their postcode.

Last year, the DVLA received about 1.4 million paper applications for change of address on a vehicle record. 

By using the new service to change the address on the log book, the information will be updated instantly and motorists will receive a new log book within five working days.
