Changing address on V5 logbook

[Ihavenojob]

Our son is moving and needs to change his address on the logbook. His new address is a flat so it's "FLAT 5, 123 Letsbe Avenue" (as an example), but the online form won't recognise flats, just a house number. Anyone done this recently and know how to get the flat number entered? He changed the address on his driving license online without this issue.

Tried that, comes up with message saying address not found. Strange how the driving license was done with no problem.

Similar thing happened when I did a money claim on line it would not recognise the post code of the defendant !!!!

Just use the address that it will accept.
How important is it that you include the flat number.
Posties get used to names living at the addresses and the postie will know who lives in which flats.

I did tell him that, he still thinks there is no room to put the flat number.

use the telephone, call DVLA

He tried, but the number is out of use. I think he's going to email them.

Because of course, you will never have a new postman.

Well he will just have to sell it then. Tell him to write smaller. It ain’t rocket science.
