V765 - Registering your vehicle under its original registration number

The V765 form is a document issued by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) governmental services. It is used in the case of a vehicle being registered to the authorities, when the owner wishes to register it under the original registration number.

The V765 official form

What is the v765 form used for ?

In some cases, you will have to register your vehicle under its original registration number. That is when you will have to issue a v765 form to the DVLA. You will have to do this within two particular cases. First, if your vehicle has never been officially registered to the DVLA services since 1983 : it can be out of use since date, or having been exported and then re-imported. Second, if it has been registered under another age registration number.

Can I find a v765 form online ?

Do I need another document to register my vehicle under its original registration number?

First, in complement of the v765 form, the DVLA will ask you evidence of your vehicle registered before 1983. An old log book (see our "v65 form" page) will perfectly work. If it is the first licensing for this vehicle, you'll have to bring along a V55/5 application so that you can claim your original registration number.
