I'm not clear - what is your question? How to get the V62 or can you insure it?
V62 you seem to be able to do by post: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-log-book
Yes you can insure it without the V5: I just did this for a car I bought before the paperwork was complete.
I had the new V5 in my name in under a week after the paperwork swap with the dealer so post is not that bad - car sales are waaaaay down so it looks like the paperwork side of things is pretty quick.

hi - yes, i've completed the V62 and sent it off.
My question is more about who I put as the Registered Keeper for insurance purposes given that I haven't yet received the V5 in my name? My inclination - as in good faith I have purchased the vehicle and own and, in all practicality am the new keeper, and have receipt and correspondence to that end - is just to put myself as the registered keeper

Morning all -
bought a van off my neighbour - he had it for years - but he hasn't got the v5C. Got a receipt for van and i've sent off a V62 for a new V5 - ordinarily he'd have phoned up with debit card and got a new one within a few days and we'd have done the normal switchero0, however Covid means only HGV and Essential Key Workers can use the phone lines - which can take several weeks. He's kept the tax going until i receive the V5 - can I just insure it saying I'm the owner and registered keeper, considering I am/will be and there's no way of knowing the exact moment registration will flip from him to me? I can insure near instantly and don't need to produce the V5 of course.
cheers
