Transferring Number Plate. How?

Recommended Posts

Hi and a happy New Year to everyone. I bought, in December 2014, a '15' plate number from the DVLA website that would suit a Lexus RC perfectly, with a view to myself buying an RC300h sometime in the '15' region, i.e. March to August 2015. Circumstances have changed a little and a coupe may not be suitable just yet so I'm either going to stick with my IS300h or look at a GS.

I know there is information on the DVLA site but I wanted to see if anyone here has any first hand experience in how to transfer a number plate allocated to me to a new user. Obviously, the number plate hasn't been allocated to a vehicle, just me.

Thanks for any help.

Peter

I would suggest phoning DVLA. I transferred my plate from the car I sold, to the one I have now, but wasn't sure of the procedure. I phoned DVLA and they are surprisingly helpful, and gave me all the info I needed. I did it first thinking I knew, but they sent it all back!

fill out the Nominee details on your certificate, section 2,

make a cheque payable to D.V.L.A Swansea for £25, and send it to D.V.L.A personalised registrations, Swansea, SA99 1DS,

a new certififcate will be sent to the new Nominee which they can then assign to there car.

When I bought my plate I had to be put on the owners paperwork as the "nominee". Once this was done and the document was sent to me I could transfer the plate to my car ( this was done at one of the now closed DVLA local offices)

They gave me a cerificate authorising the supply of new number plates,cancelled the old and issued a new tax disc and changed the MOT cert to the new registration number.

Thanks, that makes sense. So I just need to find a buyer of the registration, fill in section 2 with the buyers details and send the document off to the DVLA. Might have to try the RC forum nearer to March to see if RC15 LEX appeals to anyone.

i was lucky and after 2 hours of trying to get the D.V.L.A web page to load i managed to get my first choice, CR15 RCF, just waiting on delivery of the car now

Yes, I was hovering on the DVLA site from 08:00 :) I was only hoping for a 300h but your RC F will be awesome. You'll be fighting off the crowds wanting a look / ride / photo. Can't say an M4 or RS5 would get a second glance off anybody. Sooooooo jealous :) :)
