V5c Registration Document

In the past,

vehicle registration documents

have taken the form of fairly rudimentary cardboard, folder "

log books

" on which changes of keeper were recorded by hand and stamped with an official stamp at a

vehicle registration

office when a vehicle changed hands. With the advent of the computer age, the

vehicle registration document

(in its current form, the

V5c

) has become ever more sophisticated; designed to make it more secure.
