- Selling the vehicle directly to a private individualNotify DVLA directly online or by post, and hand the green new keeper slip (V5C/2) to the buyer.
- Scrapping an unroadworthy vehicle at an Authorised Treatment Facility (ATF)Hand over the V5C to the facility, retain the yellow scrap section (or complete online notification), and notify DVLA.
- Changing your legal surname following marriageFill in your updated personal details in the relevant section and return the V5C with supporting evidence to DVLA.
Answer
Each circumstance matches its legal V5C requirement: repainting requires recording the modification on the V5C and returning it to DVLA; private sales require the seller to notify DVLA while providing the green V5C/2 slip to the buyer; scrapping requires handing the V5C to the ATF and notifying DVLA; and name changes require submitting updated details with proof to DVLA.
The pairings correctly reflect the statutory duties of the registered keeper under DVLA regulations: physical modifications require updating the V5C; vehicle sales require the seller to notify DVLA while providing the buyer with the green slip; scrapping requires using an approved ATF and notifying DVLA; and name changes require submitting official proof alongside the amended V5C.
