V62 Form PDF: Where to Download the Official Form

If you need to apply for a vehicle registration certificate (commonly known as a V5C or log book) in Great Britain, the official document you require is the V62 form. This form is used primarily when you do not have the original V5C or if you need to register as the new keeper of a vehicle and cannot apply online.

Where to Get the V62 Form PDF

The official V62 form is available for download as a PDF directly from the UK Government’s website. It is published and maintained by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). You can find the latest version of the form on the page titled “Application for a vehicle registration certificate (form V62)”. The PDF is updated periodically to reflect any changes in the application process or fees.

Because the V62 is a print-only form, you cannot complete it online or submit it electronically. After printing and filling it in by hand, you must post the completed form to the DVLA along with any required fee.

Important Details About Using the V62 Form

• Use the V62 form if you need to apply for a vehicle registration certificate because you have lost your log book (V5C), or if you are not yet registered as the vehicle’s keeper but need to be.
• If you only need a replacement V5C without changing any details, you can apply online through the DVLA’s official service, which is often quicker and allows you to tax your vehicle at the same time.
• The V62 form must be posted; electronic submission is not accepted.
• Ensure you include the correct fee with your postal application, as specified by the DVLA.
• When you apply using form V62, you can also tax your vehicle at the same time if needed.

Example Scenario

Suppose you bought a used car and the seller did not provide you with the log book (V5C). You cannot tax or legally keep the vehicle registered in your name without it. In this case, you would download and complete the V62 form, post it to the DVLA with the fee, and wait for your new V5C to arrive by post. This process registers you as the keeper and issues the vehicle registration certificate.
