Tax Disc 1Renewing Your Car Tax

0844 453 0118

When it is time for you to renew your car tax, you will receive a letter reminding you to do so (known as a V11). You can then take this letter to your local Post Office that has Car Tax facilities, use the DVLA phone number to renew or use the online service. If you have lost your V11 letter, you can also use your 11 digit reference number for your log book (known as your V5C).

If you opt to renew your car tax at your local Post Office, you will need to take

  • Your completed V11 reminder letter
  • An MOT test certificate, if it is required. It must be valid for when the tax disc starts
  • The payment that is shown on your reminder

SORN

SORN is the abbreviation for a Statutory Off Road Notification. You need to make a SORN if you don’t use or keep your vehicle on a public- for example, you keep it in your garage, on your drive or on private land.

To make a SORN application, you can use the online service, the phone facilities or send an application by post. To apply online, you will need either the 16 digit reference number from your V11 or the 11 digit from your V5C.

To make a postal application, you will need to complete a V890 form and can make an application up to 2 months in advance. If you are making an application this far in advance for whatever reason, you must enclose a letter explaining why you are making an advanced application.
