Frequently asked questions
What Signeret records and which official steps remain separate.
What is a private sale agreement?+
It is a record of the parties, item, condition, price, payment and handover terms agreed in a private transaction.
Does the agreement transfer legal ownership?+
It records the parties’ agreement but does not by itself notify an authority, prove title in every case or replace the official process for the item.
Does Signeret notify DVLA or DVA?+
No. The seller and buyer must complete the current DVLA or DVA process themselves when it applies.
What should I do with the V5C?+
Check that the details match the vehicle and follow the current official instructions for the sale. A V5C is not proof of ownership.
Which items are supported?+
Cars, motorcycles, trailers, caravans, boats, mopeds or scooters, and collectibles.
What is the special launch offer?+
The full product, including the completed PDF and two-party digital-signing flow, temporarily costs £0. It is not a separate reduced free tier. Any future price will be shown before a new order.
Can I add photographs?+
Yes. Add useful photographs of identifiers, included items and visible condition with the appropriate permission.
Does the same guidance apply in Northern Ireland?+
Not always. DVA and other Northern Ireland procedures can differ from those in Great Britain, so check the current responsible authority for the exact transaction.
