V5C UK Registration Certificate
This V5C contains the name and address of the registered keeper and vehicle details (commonly called the Log Book). From 1 July 2005, all existing old-style V5s will no longer be valid. You may well have been issued with a new V5C UK Registration Certificate already. The new V5C can be recognised by its prominent red front page showing the words "Registration Certificate".
Registered keepers are asked to ensure that their personal details are correct and that the easily identifiable characteristics such as Make, Model, Colour, VIN/Chassis and Engine Numbers on their V5C are correct. If there are any inaccuracies, the V5C must be returned to the DVLA for an amendment.
