Vehicle Paperwork

Ownership

In the UK it is the V5, aka log book. It is the document that identifies you as the owner of the vehicle.

It also identifies the vehicle in two ways:

  1. the registration number
  2. the VIN or engine number

The engine number is less likely to be checked but it had better match otherwise you're in trouble.

This ownership document is the most important document you have for your vehicle. Don't lose it. Photocopy it several times.
