barfy Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 I've lost my V5C and can't remember the registration number. I've downloaded a V62 form to get a replacement V5C, but can't answer what the registration number is... that's why I was looking for the V5C to make a new number plate. I've spoken to the DVLA and they said I can fill in a form to find out if the bike has previously registered, but that could take 8 to 12 weeks for them to do a search. Anyone know how I can find the registration number a bit quicker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brentmain Posted April 23, 2015 Report Share Posted April 23, 2015 They're talking rubbish mate. Fill your form in, leave the VRN blank, ensure you fill the frame number in, send a 'nice letter' with all the details that the form doesn't ask for like engine number, year, etc. Enclose with your letter and form a cheque for £25. Hopefully within 2 weeks you'll either have your new V5 or a returned letter asking for photos, a 'proofed' dating certificate from a specialist club and your cheque! I've just done this for a 1981 Honda XL185S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyr1 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 You could also HPI check the chassis No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barfy Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks for the replies. Reading the form carefully I noticed that the registration number isn't a mandatory box, so I'll try the form without and a nice letter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
