New Registration - How long does it take?

[Nigel L]

Hi all, our new PVC arrived at the dealers on the 26th July, nearly two weeks ago.
They only had a reverse camera and a second leisure battery to fit, so that shouldn't take that long.
We are being told that we cannot collect it until the DVLA have sent the Reg document out which can take up to 10 days (apparently), so they can tax it.
Is this correct, or are we being fobbed off as they are probably too busy to sort it.
Just thinking that you don't have to wait when buying a new car, is it because it's a PVC, and has to be registered differently?
Just desperate to get our hands on it, yes, we are big kids and carn't wait!!!
Thanks.

Check all the details are correct when you get it.

Our pvc took about a week & it was taxed at the same time. There's a dvla website called 'check vehicle tax' where you enter the vehicle registration & can see if the vehicle as been taxed. We received the v5 a day or two after we saw it had been taxed.

Tax would be applied for at the same time as documents would have been issued to DVLA for registration. As mentioned above, check to see if the vehicle is showing as taxed online.

Incidentally and of no help to you, my V5 was received in 5 days of the dealer submitting the paperwork.

Car dealers have a system where they can register online but only a few Motorhome dealers use this service. Normally up to a couple of weeks for a notice of registration to arrive and then DVLA allow 4 weeks from then for the V5, although if often arrives in a couple of days.

Just been through this in June. The DVLA take 10 working days from receipt of the docs from the dealer. Then the vehicle is registered so can be taxed. In my case, a paperwork issue caused the DVLA to send docs back to dealer then the 10 days started again. I went home on trade plates. On the 10th day; reg appeared online and the following day, the V5 arrived.
