Why hasn't my logbook come back when I applied for it from DVLA 8 months ago?

I applied for the V5 in April with a V62 form and it's not come yet. Do you know what's going on with processing the document? The car is ready to export but it's still not back from DVLA. Thanks.

Unfortunately, we don't know how things are processing at the DVLA - though it's not surprising to hear there's still a backlog of V5Cs to be sorted as the DVLA wasn't operating at full capacity for a significant part of 2020 due to Covid restrictions. I'm afraid it'll be a case of waiting until it comes back to you, though I'd call their customer services team and see if you can find out some more info about your application.
