Brilliant video. Did not realise you could do it all on the computer. Really clear instructions and thank you for taking the time and effort to do this. Oh I wish if all instructive videos could be so clear and simple. Thank you.
Perfectly informative, simple walkthrough, under 7 minutes wow. Thought this was going to be much more complicated than that. God bless and Thank you for making this!
Hopefully the car dealer I bought my car from will have done this for me before I collect it. An easy enough process but was trying to avoid the insurance company whacking with another set of admin charges. Thank you for the video...
Excellent video thanks. Just been looking at buying a personalised plate but was not sure how much hassle it would be sorting out the transfer etc. Came close to letting an online company rip me off for the privilege. Good to know you once you buy from DVLA you have no other fee involved in the paperwork transfer, just need to buy plates. So in a nutshell you buy from DVLA, receive the V750, buy your plates then transfer online. I looked at an online company and for the reg number I want they would charge £375, going straight to DVLA for it £250. Your video just saved me £125 thanks fella.

Top Man, good explain my 1st time to use private plate on my car so easy for me after watching you youtube short video God bless you please keep making video like this to help people like me who is new to these things.
Thanks for all your videos over 2020 both entertaining and informative. Have a amazingly good 2021 to you and your team. Keep well, keep safe and be happy.
Hi 🙋♂️ very interesting 🤨 video like educational. I have done ✅ mine about two years ago and also I have another two number plates with V750 certificate. Thanks 🙏
Great video thank you. I've just bought a 1 year old car off a dealership, do I need to be on the cars v5c document first before I put the registration on? As I've seen other people pick up cars with there private registrations on ready to be picked up.
Hello, great video..i have a few questions I hope you can help me with ? 1. Will I have contact the dvla regarding the current tax on my vehicle tied to the old registration number? 2. What happens to the old registration number . Will this be still tied to the vehicle when I go to sell the car again in the future to a new keeper? 3. Where does the new keeper get the cars number plate from ? Thank you
Great vid mate. What’s the procedure when you want to swap the plates back when selling the car? And also do you get a new log book everytime you change?
Yes you will get a new log book every time the car details change To swap back you need to apply to put your private plate on retention certificate - they will then re allocate your original plate to your car and send you a new log book with the original plate
You can use form V317 and send this to Swansea or use the DVLA online service to "Take a registration number off a vehicle" and then "Put a registration number on a vehicle".
Help!!! I'm stuck. I am a nominee, my parents purchased a number plate online. I am on the DVLA website trying to work out which postcode the DVLA referring to, to transfer the number plate online. The rest of the details are straightforward. After inputting the long reference number from the retention certificate it ask you for the post code, is this my home post code or the original business purchaser postcode? Thankyou.
Thank you for the great information. Is there a charge to this service. I have a number plate on retention for the last 8 years but now I want to put it on my new car. So thanks for this easy do it yourself video
Yes its much the same - you have 2 choices 1) transfer the number from one car to another 2) transfer the number from the car to a retention certificate ( as a holding position till you get your new car ) There is an extra charge for option 2 as you do 2 transfers.
So i bought the number plates from swift reg , and in certificate of entitlement the purchaser name is swift reg, in your video it came in to your own name . So in the second section when they ask for postcode do i have to give the postcode of swiftreg?
I have just removed my private plate from my car , but want to transfer it to my new car , ( sold the other car) I have printed off a eV948? what is the next step?
You don't need to print that bit off at the end to get the plates. You can simply take your V570 Certificate into a store with your driving licence to get your plates printed before you do the online bit.
How many days grace do you get after clicking the button in order to the new plates fitted ? thinks it’s 3 days - but maybe it’s less or more . there may be a day or two where someone has transfered the plate and submitted it online but still drives the vehicle on the now old plate - until they get new plates fitted . Basically - are you breaking any laws if drive the vehicle on the now old plates for a few days after submitting the application Is there a grace period ?
When I put the new private reg on my car do I still own the original reg for the car or do I have to pay to retain it so that when I get a new car I can put the original plates back on and put my private reg on my new car ?
The original reg for your car goes on hold automatically and still belongs to your car - when you take your private plate off your car will get its original plate re-issued to it so keep the plates !
just a question, Ive been using the DVLA website for years for this bit just a bit of advice needed, So daughter has just got a car, and we bought her a private reg from DVLA website, my question is this, my wife is listed on the nominee section of private plate, will this be an issue when I try to put plate on her car, as daughter's name is not the nominee on DVLA document?
I bought a car with private nbre with out certificate has been given, my V5 registration with private plate , can I keep it when i purchase another car or not ? how I can get certificate for this nbre plate ?
If you use it on the road you need insurance. If you vehicle is taxed you do not need to SORN it ... you either TAX or SORN. Sorn is Statutary off road notice - so when no in use on the road.
if you transfer a plate from your old car to a new one, what happens to the old car's number plate? just asking! as the old car now has no number plate
The car will get allocated a new replacement plate.... the Tesla's old plate will remain on hold and will be re-issued to the tesla when we take the new plate off in the future
Hi - sorry - we just unloaded a container before christmas but we have containers at the the docks... there are real problems with the whole shipping industry right now ! What is it your waiting for ?

Also do it on your browser on you phone I've just done mine while following this video very helpful
Found it very helpful too! Thank you!
Thanks for this, DVLA should use it, its far clearer than all the paper and website reading you have to do. And you can understand it.
Great advice. Got my V750 and watched your video and an hour later i'm registered and got the new plates on my car.
Thank you ! You made it look very simple. Don’t know why DVLA gets me confused each time I read their information. This was of a great help.
Glad it was helpful!

I've just purchased private plates so found this video most informative. Thank you!
Hi excellent video, just like to add that when you change your number plate be aware your insurance company may charge you for a change of details .
Normally the obligatory Administration fee of approximately £30.
£35 with my Insurance, bloody rip off!!!.. for people like myself on a low income.
You complain of low income,yet splurge god knows how much on an unnecessary vanity plate!@@danielhanney3326

Is it true you need to pay 80.00 to DVLA to get your new plates put onto your car?
@@coachgordonso I just bought new personalised plate from the DVLA and they added an assignment fee of £80.00
@@coachgordonso not to put on your car but there is a registration fee of £80 to be paid to the DVLA but it is included in your plates price when buying direct
£80 to retain a private plate if you remove it or change it. Bare this in mind.
I received my V750 DOCUMENT.
But I didn't know what to do next.
So, your video helped me a lot.
Many thanks
Glad it helped

Hi - normally the dealers sort this out for you in advance - its probably better to get the V5 in you name before swapping plates.
Might be a silly question but do you still need to send the v750 off even when applying for new one online?
Great vid either way. Thanks!
Great advice just what I was looking to do myself and save some money! 👍
This helped the first time l tried l failed now followed this video and boom l can put my number plates onto my car

Thank you
Tax is transferred automatically as is mot, tell your insurance, an admin fee will be charged, you buy the plates.
What happens when the post code is different to log book, when you nominate post code is different to the purchaser
Cheers mate, well explained
how do i get that paper work if ive lost it? not the logbook the other one?
thank you very much, straight forward advice!
Hello! Is there an £80 charge by the DVLA for the number plate transfer?
Yes correct
Thank you just great. All done new number on car. !!!
Great video, thank you for showing us how its done

As always, useful videos. Thanks.
Hi Simon, can you do one that shows how to change over number plate when changing cars after buying another used car
You can use form V317 and send this to Swansea or use the DVLA online service to "Take a registration number off a vehicle" and then "Put a registration number on a vehicle".
Does that mean the fee you originally pay for the number plate has to be paid for every 10 years?
So you can install the new plates as soon as you click enter on the online form?
Thank you so much for sharing this video… you effort made my day
❤❤❤❤
Glad it helped !
Fantastic video, thank you so much for this. This was super helpful.
Perfectly described, thank you.
Cheers mate! Just got a new plate for my Sur-Ron! Does it work the same for bikes?
What happens to the reg originally assigned to the vehicle? As you may decide to sell the reg you just bought on at some point.
It remains in limbo but is reserved for your car... so when you sell your car your will get this back - so keep the original physical plates
Help!!! I'm stuck.

When you got the retention certificate you would have paid the "transfer fee" at that time - so you will have nothing to pay !

I did not know this - but i check it out and you are correct
www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates/getting-number-plates-made-up
How many days grace do you get after clicking the button in order to the new plates fitted ?
thinks it’s 3 days - but maybe it’s less or more .
there may be a day or two where someone has transfered the plate and submitted it online
but still drives the vehicle on the now old plate - until they get new plates fitted .
Basically - are you breaking any laws if drive the vehicle on the now old plates for a few days after submitting the application
Is there a grace period ?
So when I tell dvla of my new plate the send me a logbook with it on so do I keep my old logbook as well for when I sell the car
Great vid simple and to the point 👌 does anyone know of any good number plate sites?
Thanks very much I m done today takes only 2minutes
