Selling your car to a dealer
You will need the reference from the latest V5C/3 yellow slip
The dealer will keep the V5C document (apart from the V5C/3) and give this to the person who buys the vehicle from them.
Make sure that:
* no changes have been made on the V5C registration certificate
* the name and address on the V5C are correct
* any personalised registration numbers have been kept or assigned to another vehicle
Notification of sale can be done online or by post
Online
When selling online you’ll be sent:
* an email confirmation (if you provided an email address)
* a letter confirming that you’re no longer the keeper of the vehicle
* a refund for any full months of vehicle tax (or direct debit cancelled)
By Post
If you have a V5C you must:
* get the trader to complete their details on the V5C/3
* sign the V5C (along with the trader) and give this to the trader
* send the V5C/3 to the address: DVLA, Swansea, SA99 IBA
If you don’t have a V5C you must write to DVLA with the:
* vehicle registration number
* make and model
* exact date of sale
* name and address of the new keeper
* signatures of the buyer and seller
