Frequently asked questions

  • Who is the registered keeper on a V5C?
    The registered keeper is the person or organisation responsible for taxing and maintaining the vehicle according to DVLA records. This is not necessarily the legal owner of the vehicle.
  • Where is the registered keeper section on a V5C?
    The registered keeper's name and address appear in section D of the V5C logbook, typically in the right-hand portion of the upper section of the document.
  • Can I transfer a personalised number plate if I am not the registered keeper?
    No. The registered keeper must authorise and carry out the retention or assignment of a personalised number plate. If you have recently bought a vehicle, ensure the V5C is updated in your name first.
  • How long does it take to become the registered keeper after buying a car?
    DVLA typically updates their records within 2 to 6 weeks of receiving the completed new keeper supplement (V5C/2). You can verify your keeper status via the DVLA vehicle enquiry service at gov.uk.
  • Is the registered keeper the same as the legal owner of the vehicle?
    Not always. A leasing or finance company may be the legal owner while an individual is the registered keeper. For personalised plate transfers, it is the registered keeper who must authorise the DVLA transaction.
