We bought a car recently for our daughter and sent off the V5 as usual. A few days later we received the new V5 and then the following day a second one arrived

The VIN number, car details, reg no etc are all the same but the document reference number is different. The second one does says 'duplicate document' in the special notes section.

Does this mean I can sell the car twice

 

yes

the dvla are ####wits

 

They're improving then.

 

This happened with one of my cars.

I couldn't work it out either

And they charge you double for road tax. Especially if you drive a recent S2000

 

That's nothing, I've got 5 v 5s for my s because they kept on getting my details wrong. Address, name, it's astounding. If I can just remember which one is the right one!

 

i got a tax reminder for the bike i wrote off last year. which i told them about.

then a new v5 bizarrely

 

I've still got a duplicate v5 for my CRX (sold 3 years ago) which I found recently as the DVLA did the same thing.

Any one want to buy a CRX?
