How to SORN a Vehicle or Notify DVLA of Ownership Change Online in 2026
Dealers Portal UK Editorial
You can transfer ownership or register a SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification) in under 2 minutes at gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle or gov.uk/make-a-sorn using your 11-digit V5C reference number. Completing this online immediately cancels your legal liability for future fines and automatically triggers a pro-rata road tax (VED) refund back to your bank account or via cheque within 4 weeks.
Never rely on a buyer to post the paper logbook to Swansea. Transferring ownership online while the buyer is standing with you is instantaneous, secure, and generates email proof for both parties.
gov.uk/sold-bought-vehicle (open 7am to 7pm).If you take a vehicle off the road and stop taxing or insuring it, you MUST register a SORN. The vehicle must be kept on a private driveway, garage, or private land — parking a SORN vehicle on any public road carries an automatic £1,000 fine and vehicle impoundment.
