Change of name and/or address
Explore the crucial role of the V5C logbook with Motorscan's comprehensive guide, covering everything from its purpose and vital information to steps to take if it goes missing. We'll unravel everything you didn't know, from learning about updating details and ordering replacements to the importance of the V5C in transactions and ownership changes!
To update your name and address simultaneously or to apply to change your name, the process can only be completed by post. You should complete the relevant change of name part in section 3 of the new style V5C logbook, or for the older style, it's section 6. Remember to sign and include a letter explaining why your name is changing. While you don't need to provide proof because the name was misspelt, you will need to provide evidence of your name change if, for example, you've married, divorced or legally changed it by deed poll.
