We will transfer your new private registration number to your vehicle. But we need you to tell us what you would like to happen to your old car registration number.
I've bought a private registration number. When do I get the number plates for the car? What do I need to do? When can I swap the plates over? Can I change the spacing?
When I change my car in the future, what happens to my personalised number plate? Can I transfer it to my new car? How long does that take? How do I do that?
Why do I have to send my vehicle documents to transfer a private number plate? What happens to them? Will I get replacements when the registration is changed?
I paid a deposit on a private number plate. How and when do I pay the balance? What happens after I've paid?
If I get a private number plate, what happens to my car insurance? What do I need to do? Will I be charged? Does it increase the cost of my insurance?
I've bought a personalised registration. What next? How do I get my plates and when can I swap them over?
Why is there a DVLA number plate fee that's added when I buy a private number plate? What is it for? Do I have to pay it upfront, or can I pay it later?
