V5C stands for Vehicle registration certificate (UK), a driving abbreviation.
UK document, commonly called the logbook, that records a vehicle's registered keeper, registration number and details. Sellers and buyers must notify the DVLA of a change of keeper using the V5C.
Example: Ask to see the V5C and check that the address matches where you're buying the car.
Usage notes
The V5C shows the registered keeper, who is not necessarily the legal owner. Buyers are advised to match the VIN on the car to the V5C to avoid stolen vehicles. Changes of keeper can be completed online.
