Once you've informed the DVLA, you shouldn't need to do anything more. They'll process the transfer in ownership and send a new V5C logbook to the new owner as soon as possible ? this is usually within 4 weeks of you notifying them of the change.

Please allow approximately 30 days from the day we get your documents for us to process your title transfer.
