Form V62. Apply for a vehicle registration certificate

Form V62 is a document used by the UK government to apply for a vehicle registration certificate, also known as a V5C. The main purpose of this form is to register a vehicle with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) or update the details of an existing registration certificate.

The form consists of several parts, including personal details, vehicle details, and a declaration. The important fields on this form include the applicant's name and address, vehicle details such as make, model, and registration number, and a declaration confirming that the information provided is accurate and complete.

The parties involved in this form are the vehicle owner and the DVLA. It is important to consider that the vehicle must be registered in the UK and have a valid MOT certificate or be exempt from MOT requirements.

When filling out this form, the applicant will need to provide personal details, vehicle details, and a declaration. Additionally, they may need to attach supporting documents such as proof of ownership, a valid MOT certificate, and a fee for the application.

An example of an application for this form could be a person who has recently purchased a used car and needs to register it in their name. By completing this form, they can update the registration certificate with their personal details and ensure that the vehicle is legally registered.

Strengths of this form include the ability to update vehicle registration details and ensure that vehicles are legally registered. However, weaknesses include the need for supporting documents and a fee for the application.

Alternative forms to this include the V5C/2 form, which is a temporary registration certificate used when buying a vehicle and waiting for a full registration certificate to be processed.

To fill and submit this form, the applicant must complete all required fields and attach any supporting documents. Once completed, the form can be submitted online or through the mail to the DVLA. The form will be stored in the DVLA's database.
