SORN declaration - mattc
Hi,
I bought a second hand car 4 weeks ago without a tax disc. I taxed it on the day I got it and I have just received a SORN declaration today from the DVLA.
Can I ignore this notice or do I have to contact the DVLA?

Sorry if this has been covered before.

Many thanks,
Matt

SORN declaration - Dwight Van Driver
Presumably Mattc the old owner declared SORN and the form you received from DVLA was to re-Sorn, as the new owner, after 12 months without a Licence.

The fact that you have now paid duty on the vehicle will in fact automatically " un-SORN " the record at DVLA but this may take time for their records to marry with this fact.

In your case there is no need, as I understand the system, to do anything in relation to SORN notice you mention from DVLA.
