    God knows how long since it's been a log "book". You send off the change of ownership cert straight away. The person purchasing gives you their details.

    If you're trading into a garage, they should be transferring the car into the garage account, either with a paper rf105 form, or buy using the online system.

    That's what you do when selling a car privately.

    When trading in a car you give the VRC to the dealer and they transfer the ownership into their garage code. Most dealers should be able to do this online and give you a printout confirming the transaction.

    It is actually written on your logbook... You fill the RF105 and hand the logbook...
