4 Guidance Notes
You should not use this form if the vehicle is taxed and no longer used on the public road. You need to return the disc (including nil value discs) to DVLA and make a SORN using Application for a refund of vehicle tax when you have the tax disc (V14) instead. If the vehicle is not already registered in your name, please ensure the appropriate part of the V5C is filled in and sent. If the V5C is lost a form V62 (fee applicable) must be filled in. Make a SORN only if the tax disc for your vehicle runs out on or after 31 January 1998. If you fail to do so you could be fined a minimum of 1,000. There is no need to make a SORN for a vehicle while a tax disc is in force. This declaration is valid for twelve months, unless you retax, sell, permanently export or scrap the vehicle before the twelve months have expired. We will normally send you a reminder when your SORN is about to expire. This form cannot be used if the vehicle is temporarily out of the country. Motor Traders who have vehicles temporarily in their possession in the course of their business are not required to make a SORN unless the vehicle is registered in their name. Once you have made a SORN you will be sent an acknowledgement letter within 4 weeks confirming the details. If the acknowledgement letter is not received after 4 weeks you must contact Customer Enquiries on 0300 790 6802 immediately.
