    Hey, friend of mine bought a commercial van over a month ago but still hasn't recieved his log book in the post. He tried to ring back the seller but can't get hold of him. Can he ring the dvla in N. Ireland and get a replacement ?

    Is your friend living in the Republic? If so, he should have taken the V5 with him when he bought the van - UK-registered vehicles cannot be registered to people living outside of the United kingdom.

    Yes you can order a new copy of the V5 log book. I think this will cost you £25 roughly 30euro..

    This service is only for a ordering a replacement copy of the log book so it will only be sent to the current registered owner thats on the V5.

    I'm guessing it gets sent to the currently registered owner.;)

    You could try ringing up and asking them to find out. Think this should the right number: 0870 240 0010

    Ok, was talking to my friend again and he tells me he was in contact with the seller and he insists that he sent it to the dvla in belfast. I rang them - but they tell me that they won't send on a v5 form to a person living in Ireland.

    Find this strange cause I bought a car in the UK a couple years ago and the seller sent of the v5 to the dvla in swansea and weeks later I recieved the v5 in my name..
