- My step by step guide on buying a personalised registration plate online.
I show you each stage of the DVLA website when you buy a new reg for your vehicle.

Oh and dont forget to call your insurance company and tell them the new registration
This could not have been easier to understand and follow. Fantastic guide on a slightly complicated process. Great video and highly appreciated as it cleared up a lot of my confusion. Thanks a bunch!
Many thanks for watching and commenting. Glad it was helpful 😁👍
Fantastic video! Thank you for explaining the process so clearly. I feel much more confident getting mine now :)
Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad it was useful 😁
I've just bought another myself
Hi John, I have started a new TH-cam channel dedicated to brilliant cars, edited and filmed all by me
This is John from the Jaguar Breakfast Club (Steve’s son with the red svr)
Keep up the great content and keep the cat clean 🙂
Amazing video very easy and straightforward I have to watch 7 videos to help an answer amazing channel
Many thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
brilliant video! I'm getting a private number plate for a family member for their birthday and this video helped a lot, thank you
Glad it was useful! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
the best step by step video congratulation that was really really helpful!!!!
@@PaokArseni Thanks! Glad it was useful 😁
Great informative vid. Thank you so much for this concise guide, made the process so much simpler!
Thanks for watching and commenting! Much appreciated
Other plate sellers are available; you don't have to go through DVLA at the purchase stage.
Great video! Might be a silly question but do the registration plates get sent to you? Or do you need to get them made somewhere? If so how long does this take? :)
Hiya thanks for watching and commenting! Not a silly question at all, but no you don't get the plates sent to you, you have to purchase them yourself either using your new V5 document automatically sent by the DVLA when the new registration is registered, or by downloading the certificate of entitlement (I think thats covered in this video?) take either to a decent auto parts store and they should be able to make them while you wait.
@@MovesLikeJaguar thank you so much !
My pleasure 😁
@@MovesLikeJaguar how much does it cost to purchase
The physical plates? Around £20 - £30 for a guess
Great vedio, answered my question and showed everything.. great job.. thanks
Thanks very much, Glad it was useful 👍
Nice video and cool that you showed a process where you bought a plate yourself too! Interesting why you chose JB51 rather than JB05 or JB06 but a great personalised plate choice
Thanks for watching! The car was originally an 07, but that number wasn't available, so I thought that as it's my first XKR it'd read JB'S 1 XKR
@@MovesLikeJaguar Yeah you made the right choice. My taste in number plates has improved a bit more I'd say since 3 years ago :D
great video and perfect for my new Jaaag
Thanks for watching! 👍
Hi, would buying a private plate hide the date you brought the car on searches or not?
This helped a lot as a nice little follow along guide, thank you very much.
You're welcome, thanks for watching and commenting 👍
So you literally don’t need to send anything physically to dvla like your licence or v5 documents it’s all done online ?
@@K1scarcrazy yes.
Thank you for the video it’s so clear and well explained 💪🏿
Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Best video on youtube thank-you ❤
Thank you for your video .I'm thinking about putting one on but I was wondering about road tax as that's registered with you current number plate many thanks garry
Nothing to worry about, the DVLA will update their records after issuing the new V5
@@MovesLikeJaguar fantastic thank you 😊
Perfect, just the job! Thanks very much!
Thanks for watching, glad it was useful 👍
What’s the process for putting your old plates back on? Is it possible to swap in between the old and new every few months? Great video very informative 👍🏼
Thanks for watching and commenting. I've not done it that way around before but I think you can put the personalised registration on retention (Meaning you keep the rights to the reg number) , and your original reg is reassigned back to the vehicle by the DVLA. You'd probably have to pay an assignment fee everytime you swapped so wouldn't be advisable
HI, Where is this link for the" download the ev948" please. i dont have my new log book yet and want to get on, thanks
Hi, very helpful video. Between assigning the number plate to your car and having it fitted is there a time limit for getting this done? Thanks.
Not exactly sure, it says as soon as possible, but would have thought there will be a couple of weeks overlap to allow for the making of the new plates
Great video, thanks. I was told that I would have to send in my existing V5 document in, but it doesn't look like it from your video.
Thanks for watching, no they just send you a new one 😁
@@MovesLikeJaguar Thanks👍
I actually had mine fitted to, I also have a Jaguar XK, its been 2 days since I have had the permission, I noticed they have changed the MOT details to this plate but the Road Tax still has the old Reg, will that change too?
Road tax is controlled by DVLA also, you don't have to do anything further
@@MovesLikeJaguar Many thanks, probably be updated in a couple of days
How much grace time do you have between receiving your new V5C and getting the new plates installed? Eg if getting a garage to make and install them, you’ll need to drive to the garage with your “old plates” even though DVLA have swapped to the new on their system?
Not sure exactly. It just says to swap as soon as possible. I'd guess at a couple of weeks to a month
THANK YOU EASY AND SHORT VID👍🏻🙌
Easy to follow vid amazing thank you
Glad it helped! 👍
Someone may have asked this already but how long does it take for them to do this all?
Should be less than a couple of weeks depending on how busy they are. But normally within a few days
Don't forget to change the plate on your insurance!
I am a Little Bit surprised to See, that in the UK you must pay 399 GBP for a personalized number plate. In Germany you can get it for 12,80 €. The only thing is, that you need to stick at your hometown initials. Such as „VAI“ for Vaihingen, and then you can choose XK50... and that‘s it. My number plate therefor is: VAI - XK 50. for My Jaguar XK5.0 convertible
That's one of the cheaper ones! £250 the minimum, but the sky is the limit for some prices
This is the UK, we are charged high for everything we possibly can be.
That’s great, thanks.
Is the original number still your property & can it be put back to that number when selling the car?
Thanks.
The original number goes back to the DVLA but is usually reserved to go back on the car in the future
One question, I would like to buy a number plate but it seems to be a normal non-personalised registered number plate used on someones car which is still running to this date. Is it possible for me buying this number plate from them?
Yes it would be possible. The owner would have to use the DVLA website to put the registration number on retention, which he then could sell to you
@@MovesLikeJaguar ok thank you so much!
@@MovesLikeJaguar I got the number plate! I am going to print it and use it tommorow!
Fantastic! Well done 👌👌👏👏👍👍
is the Nation badge (e.g UK badge and letters) compulsory or compulsory if you travel out of UK. I mean i dont intend to add Nation badge to my custom plates
We have to display a UK sticker for travelling outside of the UK, but doesn't have to be on the plate
Thanks. Really helpful and I have now got a custom plate and left out the unnecessary country badge
Great video. One question from me, I've just purchased the car and the V5 is not in my name yet. Do I wait for the V5 to come in my name before I am able to transfer my plates? I've purchased the car and new plates just yesterday. Thanks
Thanks for watching. Good question to which I am not entirely sure. You may be able to if you have kept the new keepers part of the old V5 form. Id be interested in hearing if you do manage it
@@MovesLikeJaguar Many thanks. I'll keep you posted
Ultimately and sadly life is about getting what you need. In 2001 a space Odyssey a group of apes realised that by hitting the other group with bones you could get more than what you need. Life has since taken this path and you either pick up the bone or become bitter that you didn’t.
fantastic video, cheers mate!
Much appreciated 😁👍
Thanks for good information received.
Can you tell us how to retain a number plate already assigned to a car
Visit the DVLA website and follow the link for removing a private registration. The original will be automatically assigned and the private reg put on retention for later use, or you can assign it to another vehicle
Question, as soon as you go through the process of letting the DVLA know about the new plates, can you no longer drive on the old ones?
There is a cross over period, not entirely sure how long though, They say to put on the new plates as soon as possible, but they obviously allow time for the V5 to arrive and you getting new plates made. I cheated a bit and had standard looking 'show plates' made on ebay. So I had them ready to go on. I'd estimate there will be a few weeks where you can still drive on the old plates
@@MovesLikeJaguar how does that work with the insurance company though? Reason I asked is because I planned on switching them over online, driving to get them made and fitted next day then when I get home call the insurance.
I'd notify insurance once the new plates are fitted.
@@MovesLikeJaguar thanks for the advice.
My pleasure, thanks for watching the video😁
Great video! After purchasing the registration when you receive the V750, do you have to pay another fee when assigning it to your vehicle?
Thanks for watching! No further or hidden fees if you buy from the DVLA. The price you pay includes all transfer fees to assign it to your vehicle
@@MovesLikeJaguar Thank you, would that mean the only other fees so on is if you transfer it to another vehicle?
Simon Alvey yeh if the plate is already on a car then you’ll have to pay £80 to transfer to another car or to put the plate on retention
How do people get super specific ones, I've seen plates which match no style shown here, where do people get those?
With a lot of luck and in most cases, money! Check out the DVLA site for the options available. Fewer letters and numbers command higher prices
One more question. So why is it not available to completely buy your own words no matter the cost. I.e why can't I have my name N N A M D I or N N 4 M D I if I am ready to pay for it, instead of only available permutations and formats
All controlled by the DVLA, its a shame we can't have whatever we liked within reason
Hello
Does this work for international people too?
Like in South Africa?
No idea what the rules are outside of the UK sorry
I’m trying to by a plate, however it keeps saying “service unavailable”. When I refresh it says someone else is viewing my plate. Any tips or advice would be appreciated!
Are you trying between 7am to 7pm?
Moves Like Jaguar thanks for that , it worked . I got a last question , do they deliver it to your address, or do you have to pick it up?
@@HA-jp5yt you have to get the plates made yourself
Great video, nice cat 👌
Sir i can use space between characters but how yours have a space after 4th?
That's the legal requirement in the UK for that particular layout
Very good info thanks 😊
Thanks very much 👍
Excellent 👍
Can you get the certificate delivered to another address?
I don't see why not.
I want to make my own not pick from a list how do I do that?
You can't always have exactly what you want.
hi,what to do with old number plate
If you choose not to retain the number, the original is taken back by the DVLA and usually reserved to reinstate on the vehicle if or when the vehicle is sold in the future
How long did the plate actually take to arrive?? It’s them who sends it right? Good vid
The DVLA do not issue the actual plate. You have to visit an auto parts store with either the new V5 or the downloadable certificate shown in the video, who can then make you the plate hopefully while you wait
@@MovesLikeJaguar ohhh I see thank you very much. Good thing you told me or else I would be waiting a while
How much did that cost you? Annoying that you have to pay even more
@@kabuterrimondw5919 should be somewhere in the £25 - 35 region I think
@@MovesLikeJaguar yeah that’s reasonable, thanks for the reply again. And to be perfectly honest I’m probably going to order mine online. The gov website postcode search is terrible
If i bought a plate for my son would it still be under my name
I think there's an option if you're buying a plate for someone else so it'll be under their name
Is this for motorbikes as well?
Yes. Any road registered vehicle.
How long takes do whole process can you tell me please thanks
They say 2 weeks but takes like 1 week or less..
@@Mrak47777 thanks 😊
Thanks
Do I need to notify the insurance company ?
Absolutely yes. You're changing the vehicle's identification
@@MovesLikeJaguar thanks for replying. What about tax ? Will I have to pay tax again ? Read tax I mean.
No, your road tax is still valid, as all controlled by the DVLA anyway
@@MovesLikeJaguar ah okay. That you for the help. Very helpful. Just received the certificate today.
Do you have to tell your car insurance
You do when registering the plate to your vehicle as you are changing its identification
No. Shouldn't do.
Can you get a company to make a custom number without buying one from the dvla?
Is there a minimum age for buying a private numberplate
did you ever find out?
@@arunsingh4440 There is no minimum age bro
How do I buy n resell
You remove the registration onto a retention certificate
Cool
I thought it cost like 10 grand
Some of them can!
is there an age restriction?
Wouldn't have thought so
@@MovesLikeJaguar Thanks, also how would i sell a plate if you have to fill in the form to say who it’s for when buying?
Not too sure on selling, I've never done it.
The height of vanity
Apology accepted
