THE TIME it takes motorists to receive a duplicate log book (V5C) has been slashed from 6 weeks to just 5 days, as a result of a new online service launched this week by Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
The ‘Get a vehicle log book ’ service is the latest DVLA online service, and has been designed for motorists who have lost or damaged their log book.
This will be the second online service DVLA has launched in the last 4 months, following the change address on vehicle log book service which was launched in June and has been used more than 300,000 times.
Every year, DVLA issues around 500,000 duplicate log books where motorists have either lost or damaged their document.
Julie Lennard, DVLA Chief Executive, said: DVLA’s new online service to apply for a duplicate log book is quick and easy to use and means customers who have unfortunately either lost or damaged theirs will receive their new document within a matter of days.”

I bought a car and it is mentioned in my logbook.
1- Declared New At first registration
2-Duplicate Document.
What does duplicate mean here in my log book. Was it write-off and then repaired and got a new log book?
please advice me.
