    Car tax question can anyone help

    Like a #%$# i have forgot to change my address on my V5. I have changed everything else but forgot about this!

    As a result i have no reminder and it runs out at the end of the month. Anyone know if the post office will tax it with the wrong address on the V5?

    Anyone had this problem? dont want to send of the V5 until i know for sure i cant tax it without a new V5 as they say it will take 4 weeks to get it back! ..................bugger

    You'll be alright.
    They will still give you a tax disc but they'll keep the main section of the log book and give you the a slip.
    They'll send it off to the dvla and you'll get a spanking new log book (v5).

    Try it online.

    The postie would have to be vigilant to spot the address being wrong it think.
