No rear photo showing a registration mark?

The V5 is not proof of ownership it is a log of registered keepers I have bought and sold vans and bikes without them.
I am the registered keeper of my sisters car but not the legal owner and I have recently bought a Transit tipper it is registered with a building firm but I am the legal owner.
A bill of sale is all thats needed.

Agreed but you can't apply for a duplicate log book if you are not the current keeper - DVLA will not easily disclose keeper details (unless your a private car park parasite chasing an unpaid ticket) so you can contact the last registered keeper.
How do you break this circle and get a V5 ? DVLA & police advice is pretty firm that you should not purchase a vehicle without sight of the V5 in the name of the owner/keeper and are in receipt of the V5C/2 New Keeper Section.
This is without even thinking about stuff like folk who get a Log Book Loan and then sell a vehicle or when there is outstanding finance etc. As a retired Custody Sergeant I am only too aware of the dishonesty that is out there.
Bryanj:
You can, or at least could, apply for a log book as not the current keeper but you had to wait for DVLA to write to the "registered" person telling him that somebody had applied for one and did he mind, they then waited about 6 weeks and if no reply issued the V5
Charlie J:
I bought my project bike without a log book. I filled in DVLA form V62 with my details together with the frame and registration numbers and sent it off with a cheque for £25. I got an acknowledgement from DVLA saying that my application should be processed on 01st October and a V5C issued to me. So, hopefully I should receive my new log book in the next few days.

Just for info
Many years ago I sold a car to the motor trade and a few months later I got a letter from the DVLA saying somebody had applied for the v5 and if I did not reply the v5 would be issue to them
Best wishes always Al
