I was very clever last week and taxed my car on line!

Can I also change the details of car ownership on line or do I still have to do it the old fashioned way through the post

    I think you have to do that via post

    It needs to be done by post as the V5 needs a signature:

    http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/RegisteringAVehicle/DG_4022311

    I'll move this over to the Motoring Board :)

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

    You should have got back the change off ownership confirmation from DVLA.

    Yes I got the change off ownership confirmation, what I mean is I never got the V5 sent back asking me to get it signed or anything like that.
