DVLA

Post by peter_winney » Tue Jan 13, 2026 5:15 pm

Chased up DVLA today re: non-receipt of my V5C after 6 working weeks. They say you should receive it within 3 weeks but allow for 6,but if you do not chase it up within 6 weeks website says will treat it as a "lost" V5 and charge £25.
After usual robot on phone I pressed button for call-me-back. Did not have long to wait. Gave details to Rebecca (very helpful) and got advice that was still with team (no issues though) and to call back in 2 weeks if not arrived.
I know it was Christmas & New Year holiday and nothing is ever done in government service over that time (which is why I left it the full 6-weeks to enquire) but this still seems to me to be rather slow. Perhaps they are all too busy agreeing how the regs and docs should be translated into Welsh.
