All depends on when you put you want the tax disc to start from apparently, if you put the 1st June you should get it 10-14working days days from then, if you put the 1st July they wont look at it until then so its then another 10 -14 working days.
 
I did mine a month ago took about a week which surprised me as it took 2-3 weeks for them to send me the V55/5 form but as Graham says i backdated mine to the beginning of the month but then why wouldn't you because it's freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
 
Well that's good news as I put June! No brainer as you say.

I posted it Tuesday, recorded delivery, checked they received it yesterday so we shall see.

First time I've filled one in. If they have a question do they call call you or is a case of firing it back in the post ?
 
How you getting on ??
Posting mine on Monday, need it back by Redcar, cutting it fine?????
Did you pay by cheque/card??
 
As I posted before they say 10-14 working days so anything from 2-3 weeks is the norm.
 
It'll be 3 weeks knowing my luck as that's when I want to use it!! :roll: :roll:

Do you NEED to put an insurance cert in??
Someone said it wasn't a must!?!?!
Is a cheque to DVLA ok for the £55 fee??

Hope I don't fall at the last fence due to paperwork issues :(
 
Yes you need to put insurance in as you need proof its insured to be able to be issued a tax disc, they will return it unprocessed if you havent included it.

It clearly states on the V55 what you HAVE to include
 
Well I posted it today!!!
I rang DVLA first to go through which bits I've filled in , what I'd put in the envelope etc, the man said it sounds like I've got it all in hand!! :D

We'll see eh??? :roll:
