Taxing your Vehicle without a Reminder
Registered keepers of eligible vehicles receive a reminder in the post from the DVLA about three weeks before their current tax is about to run out. This form has two purposes, and as such is called the V11 'Vehicle Licence Application or SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification)'.
The V11 can be used to either renew the vehicle's tax or declare that it will be off road (see Statutory Off Road Notification).
With the V11, tax can be renewed online, by phone or at a post office that deals with vehicle tax. To find a post office that deals with vehicle tax in your location visit the Post Office Branch finder. If you input your postcode and select Vehicle Tax on the drop down "Refine branch services" you will be directed to an appropriate post office in your area.
