Do you need it if you do it on line?
Actually I'm not sure you need a driving licence to tax a car anyway. Just insurance & MOT.

StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 12:32

well i also dont have the reminder letter as havent changed address yet with dvla...to do that i need passport and reg doc (which ive got) and licence

yes, sorry, my op wasn't actually accurate!

I agree JUra, I taxed my car online, so much easier than digging out all the documents...

CJMommy · 29/08/2008 12:32

you don't need license to tax car

StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 12:33

sorry crossed posts

lou031205 · 29/08/2008 12:33

You should still be able to tax it just by entering the vehicle reg.

StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 12:34

i'll try again but think i need the reminder letter or licence

OP posts:
StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 12:36

I am the registered keeper of the vehicle. I have the V5C Registration Certificate (Log Book) and the address on it is correct.

I taxed mine online recently shortly after moving house so the wrong address was on the forms. We did however have a postal re-direction in place so it did come to our new address without any problems.

TheFallenMadonna · 29/08/2008 12:51

Don't you just fill out part of the v5 to change address. I don't think we needed any supporting documentation.

StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 13:30

phew all sorted

StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 13:32

Thanks everyone
Managed to get through to the local offices who advised me I could get it done at the Post office with jusyt the reg doc and insurance (and would have needed MOT if car had needed one)
They were right! PLus nice lady who works there gave me the licence change forms and said that should probably sort out my 'lost licence' problem.
I am so lucky! Hopefully will be more careful and organised in future!

katiechops · 29/08/2008 13:42

Just tried to do mine online as it's due too, but it keep saying that the number I've typed in is invalid. Grr! Long wait in the post office queue for me tomorrow morning!

StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 13:43

can you get it done if youre waiting for MOT?

OP posts:
LoveMyGirls · 29/08/2008 13:46

Mot isn't up until 7th sept so should be ok otherwise if i do it the other way round my tax will be over a week late.

StealthPolarBear · 29/08/2008 13:47

Ah right, i thought it was due immediately
You still here, get in that queue [stern]
