  after dvla swansea p***** me about for 4 month requesting all sorts of paper work which i set all recorded mail
yesterday morning (Monday) all the paper work i had sent including the log book were returned to me  still registerd as a bike
i called them spoke to the person who was dealing with it all he
said " you need to contact your local office to sort the trike reg out we no longer do it here "
4 month ago i went o to my not so local office and was told to send all the paper work to dvla swansea
I'm fuming right now and have lost all interest in my trike

Don't loose interest mousey boy it's not your trikes fault  . It's the idiots who cant communicate to each other. Phone your not so local office and tell them what you have just said here about the dvla not doing it any more. Things may have changed in the 4 months and it's sods law you just go cought up in the middle. Just remember to try and stay calm though I know it's hard.
Keep with it

Chin up Mick, don`t let the........, well you know.
You`ve come too far now to be put off by all this red tape stuff, sometimes i think they make it deliberatly hard just to put builders off, so stick at it, and stick two fingers up at them by getting her on the road.

Changing your vehicle details on your registration certificate You’ll need to update your registration certificate (V5C) if you make any changes to your vehicle or if any of the details shown on your registration certificate are incorrect. The amount of vehicle tax you pay may be affected and you will need to produce documentary evidence of the changes.
Changes you need to update
You’ll need to tell the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) about the following changes to your vehicle:

colour
engine
cylinder capacity
fuel type (propulsion)
replacing or modifying the chassis/monocoque bodyshell
seating capacity
weight of a goods vehicle
Change to engine and cylinder capacity (engine size)

DVLA will need written evidence of any changes to engine number and cylinder capacity (cc). Written evidence can be:

a receipt for the replacement engine
written evidence from the manufacturer
an inspection report provided for insurance purposes
written confirmation on headed paper from a garage if the change in engine size took place before you bought the vehicle
Change to fuel type

DVLA will need written confirmation of changes to fuel type for vehicles registered after 1 March 2001 if:

your existing engine is converted, the confirmation must be on headed paper from the garage that carried out the work
a new engine is fitted, the receipt will be required as confirmation
Change to the number of seats on a bus

A change to the number of seats including the driver's seat may affect the amount of vehicle tax you pay.

Change to the revenue weight for larger vehicles

For changes to the revenue weight you’ll need to produce a plating certificate or design weight certificate.

Change of taxation class to disabled

You’ll need to produce the appropriate exemption certificate if you change the tax class of your vehicle to disabled.
Taxing your vehicle in the disabled tax class Other changes
Your vehicle may need to be inspected by a DVLA local office.

You must contact your nearest DVLA local office if you change:

wheel plan
body type
vehicle identification number (VIN)
chassis number
frame number for motorcycles
How to tell DVLA about the changes
Using your registration certificate you’ll need to:

notify any changes or corrections by completing section seven
sign and date the declaration box
For changes not listed in section seven you'll need to underline the vehicle details in section four, writing the new information next to them. You must also produce documentary evidence with a covering letter explaining the changes.

If the changes don’t affect your vehicle tax, then send the registration certificate and any additional documentation to DVLA, Swansea, SA99 1BA.

If the changes affect the amount of vehicle tax you pay, you’ll need to apply to your nearest DVLA local office to:

apply for an exchange licence if your tax disc shows the old details
retax your vehicle if the vehicle tax has expired
In both cases, you’ll need to include the registration certificate and any additional documentation with your application.

How to exchange a tax disc How to retax your vehicle When to expect your registration certificate
DVLA will aim to deliver a registration certificate to you within two to four weeks of receiving your application. However, please allow up to four weeks before contacting DVLA.
