Private number plate / Cherished Number
Hi All I've seen a private number plate I'd like to buy from the DVLA website. I've not done this before and was a bit confused about the timing of everything ie: getting the reg transferred to my car, then having to tell my insurance Company and have the plates made up. Is it an easy process or am I worrying unneccessarily ?

hi there
dead simple!
purchase the plate from them,(transfer fee is included in the purchase price)
when the paperwork arrives -if near enough you can go to your local dvla office with the paperwork for the vehicle you wish to put it on (mot, tax disc,registration document) & your cherished number form V750,you will have to fill out form V317 normally only available at the reg/office,they will process it ,then normally send it back to you in a few days --i dont think they do it on the spot now,when you receive your documents you will have a form V943 -number plate authorisation certificate,so you can have your plates made up, you should get your tax disc included /to run to the end of original expiry date. you should then return the old tax disc.
within ten days you should get your new registration document back.
If you have a new style mot certificate! this will also be reprinted to the new reg details.
it sounds long winded but i have just transfered mine AGAIN.
dont forget to tell your insurance company when it is all done!
good luck

Purchasing a private number plate from the DVLA website is a relatively straightforward process, but there are several steps involved, including transferring the registration to your car, informing your insurance company, and having the plates made up. It's best to follow the instructions provided by the DVLA or UK government approved agency like newreg.co.uk site could do this for you but overall the process shouldn't cause undue worry.
