Thanks Ian

When the plate comes off - this is what costs the 80 quid - it'll go on a retention certificate. You supply the name of the person you'd like it to go to, so obviously you put your own on there to avoid paying a further 25 quid to change the name at a later date.

When you come to put the plate on the new car, just give them the V5 of the new car plus the retention certificate and assuming the names match, they'll re-issue the V5 in the post to you.

You also need to take your tax disc along as they give you a new one of them also.

The new log book wont have my name on it (old owner) would they still transfer the plates?

Get ur new log book V5 for ur new and old car take em to dvla and they do it Lee

tt

yeah mate its 80 i fink

go to the dvla site m8 it will tell u there

U need a retention form.

I'll try explain it first.

I sold my car to a mate, but left the plates on the car. It is still registered as my car till it comes out the body shop next week.

I get my new car this Wednesday.

How do I go about transferring the private numberplate on to the new car and putting old one back on the old car?

Sounds confussing but I should make sense.

I think its £80 or something to do?

Thanks

Jamie
