A V5, also known as a V5C or Vehicle Logbook, is a legal document issued by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). It confirms who the registered keeper of a vehicle is and includes important vehicle details like:

• Vehicle make and model
• Engine size and fuel type
• Date of first registration
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Registered keeper’s name and address

It’s essential when buying or selling a vehicle, or making updates to vehicle details.

Why do you need my V5?

We ask for your V5 so we can:

• Confirm who the registered keeper is
• Check that the vehicle matches your policy
• Make sure all details are up-to-date

This helps us ensure your cover is correct and active.

Who should the V5 be registered to?

We can accept the V5 if it’s in the name of:

• You, the policyholder
• Your spouse, civil partner, or cohabiting partner
• Your parent, but only if you both live at the same address
• A vehicle leasing company (12-month minimum lease)
• Your employer, provided you're not in the healthcare or fast food industries

We may decline if the V5 is in the name of:

• A friend, sibling, or other relative
• A parent who does not live at the same address as you
• A company that is not owned by you or your partner

If you’re unsure who the V5 should be under, speak to our customer support team.
