Can you find out who owns a car UK?

Can DVLA tell you who owns a car?

It's not as straight-forward as you might think to find vehicle owner information by using nothing but the number plate (VRM). The DVLA don't hand out this information to just anyone, so you need to jump through a few hoops to get it.

Who is the registered keeper on a V5?

The V5C logbook (also known as the V5 form or document) records the Registered Keeper (or Keepers) of the vehicle. Legally, that's the person registering and taxing the vehicle, not necessarily the owner. Normally the owner and registered keeper will be the same, but there are occasions where they might differ.

Can I trace the owner of a car registration number?

Can you find out who owns it? Not really. The only people who have access to that sort of information are the police and the DVLA and neither of them will divulge it as it is covered by the Data Protection Act. The only hope you have of finding the owner is if you spot the car on the road.

How do I find out my former keepers number?

Go through any previous receipts left in the vehicle as this can often show previous keeper details – like names and addresses. Make sure the dates tally. You could always contact them by post to ask specific questions, although they may not reply.

Can the registered keeper sell a car?

How do I find out who is the registered keeper of a vehicle UK?

Registered keeper details will be on the V5c registration document and you should never buy a used car without seeing the V5c.

How do I transfer my v5 to a new owner?

To transfer ownership online you'll need to complete a form on the DVLA website. To do this you need the details of the new owner, you'll need the 11-digit reference number from the car's V5C. Once the online form is completed and submitted you'll receive an email confirmation.

How do I get a new keeper slip?

If the new V5C fails to arrive, you can download a V62 'application for a vehicle registration certificate' form or pick one up from a Post Office.
