Hi. Am requesting help from the UKC Collective.
I have just acquired a new car. Have changed my insurance to the new vehicle but have hit a problem trying to tax it (multiple times) – getting the message from THE DVLA website- Vehicle details could not be found. WTF???
Yes I have the new keepers supplement ( I have the complete V5C – but it’s not in my name)
The error I am hitting is:
“Sorry, your vehicle registration mark or reference number has not been recognised. This means you cannot proceed with your Tax application.
This may be because:
> You may have entered the details incorrectly - please try again.
> The 16 digit reference number on your V11 reminder from ???(WTF, CANT THEY EVEN GET THE SPELLING OF ‘FORM’ RIGHT)??? is valid from the 5th of the month in which your current vehicle tax expires until the end of the following month.
If you are trying to use this service after this period, then please use your latest V5C Registration Certificate (Log Book) online (WHERE?) or at a Post Office branch that deals with vehicle tax.”
OK, so today is the 6th of Jan. Does this mean I don’t have to worry about it until Feb?
