You must get a replacement log book (V5C) if the original is damaged or lost. The same application process also applies if you did not get a V5C after buying a new vehicle.

The information in this help guide explains how to apply for a replacement log book online or get a duplicate by post (e.g. if the insurance company destroyed it).

Apply Online for a Duplicate Logbook (V5C)

You cannot use the DVLA online vehicle log book service, if (any):

Your information has changed (e.g. change address on V5).
You sent the V5C to the DVLA to change some details.
The vehicle registration is part of the DVLA fleet scheme.
You no longer have the vehicle in your possession.
The vehicle is registered outside the United Kingdom (includes Channel Islands (e.g. Jersey and Guernsey), Isle of Man, and Ireland).

Note: Only the registered keeper of the vehicle can get a duplicate log book online (providing you do not need to change any of the details).

You can use a credit or debit card to pay for the online service (£25). In most cases, it will take five (5) working days to get a replacement log book (V5C) from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).

The DVLA will need you to confirm the name and full postcode (as registered on the log book), and details about:

Replacing a Log Book by Phone

Only the registered keeper (stated on the V5) can replace a damaged or missing log book by phone - providing none of the recorded details have changed.

After phoning the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), you should allow six (6) weeks for them to return the duplicate document.

Taxing a Vehicle without a Logbook
