My council also accepts insurance certificates, which are created instantly. Otherwise, do they do any sort of visitor packing voucher type things? Otherwise gamble, or park it in your nearest non-CPZ zone until you get it sorted.
My recent V5C (end of May) took about 2 working days to arrive after doing the New Keeper stuff online.
Insurance companies tend to like it if the driver and the keeper are the same person.

Noob question.
Should be getting the new (well, pre-registered) car next week. I'm trying to sort a residents parking permit and it's all online, which is great but you need to upload a photo of the V5C document which I understand gets posted to you from the DVLA at some ambiguous point after purchase. Do they (Waltham Forest) just expect you to pay parking fines until the V5 arrives? There's no obvious temporary system in place from what I can tell.
Also, missus technically bought the car but cant drive so will I have to be the registered keeper on the document?
Please excuse my total lack of knowledge with this stuff.
