Reading through some 441 pages of Finance Act 2009 came up with this which was news to me.
OK so far the amending statutory instrument has yet to be made;
Registered keepers of vehicles are issued with a V5C registration document by the
Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). The V5C contains vehicle
information as well as the name and address of the person recorded as the registered
keeper. Keepers are legally obliged to notify DVLA if any of the details on the V5C
change. The only method currently available to motorists to notify such changes is
to post the current V5C to DVLA. DVLA records the changes and issues a new
V5C.
4. DVLA plans to increase the amount of services it offers electronically, in line with
the general policy of modernising Government. This section will give DVLA the
scope to develop a system for electronic notifications of changes in driver and
vehicle details. Once these are in place motorists will be able to destroy a superseded
V5C instead of having to return it to DVLA.
5. DVLA plans to consult with all interested parties, including the police, before the
relevant regulations (The Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations
2002) are amended.
