How to assign a private number plate online
Adding a private number plate to your car is a simple process using the dvla’s online form. here's what you need to know..
Adding a private number plate to your car is a popular way to make it stand out from the crowd.
The DVLA’s online tool for assigning a private plate is simple and quick to use, once you understand the jargon.
Our guide explains just how easily you can add this finishing touch to your car.
Which documents do I need to assign a number plate?
Before using the DVLA online tool via the Gov.UK website, you will need the following:
- A V778 Retention Document – issued if a private number plate has previously been used on another car OR
- A V750 Certificate of Entitlement – issued for a brand new unused private number plate
One of these documents should be given to you when you buy a private plate, or place an existing number plate onto retention.
You will also need:
- The current registration of the car you want to add the private number plate to
- The 11-digit document reference number from the V5C (logbook) of the car you want to add the number plate to
- The postcode of the registered keeper of the car, as shown on the V5C
This should allow you to complete all the relevant sections of the online form.
How much does it cost to assign a number plate?
Assigning a private number plate online is a free process. However, taking a private number plate off a vehicle (putting it onto retention) does incur a charge of £80.
In order to assign a private number plate to a new car, it needs to be placed on retention first. Retention rights last for up to 10 years.
How easy is it to assign a number plate online?
The process of assigning a private plate is very straightforward, providing you have the correct documents to hand. Be sure to check the eligibility requirements before starting the process.
Using the Gov.UK website, you will be prompted to enter the relevant reference numbers and details.
The online tool is only available from 7am to 7pm, plus there is also a Welsh language version.
How quick is the DVLA online form?
Unless there are any additional checks flagged up, the private number plate will be assigned to your car instantly. This will include updating relevant records for VED (road tax), too.
It means that as soon as you submit your request online, the number plate for your car will be changed.
Should you provide the DVLA with your email address, an Electronic Number Plate Authorisation Certificate (eV948 or eV948/2) will be sent to you immediately.
The registered keeper of the car will also receive a new V5C logbook , which should be delivered within a few days.
How do I get new number plates made?
Such an instant change means you need to be prepared to replace the physical number plates on your car before you drive it.
If you have had the private plate assigned to another car before, you may still have physical plates. If so, you can simply replace the old plates from your car with these.
Should you need new number plates made from scratch, you can use the eV948 or eV948/2 sent to you by email. This is typically only valid for a few days, so be ready to go and get new plates made soon.
You should use a registered number plate provider to ensure your new plates meet the correct legal standards. Registered providers will need to see proof of your identity, along with proof of your entitlement to the number plate. Check with your chosen provider which documents they accept in advance.
Can I still use paper forms to assign a number plate?
The DVLA will still accept submissions to assign a number plate by post, using the V750 or V778 form. You will also need to send the vehicle’s V5C (logbook) or green ‘new keeper’ slip with a completed V62 form.
Submitting documents by post is likely to take longer than assigning a number plate online.
Can I assign a number plate to a financed or leased car?
Finance providers for cars bought via Personal Contract Purchase (PCP) or Personal Contract Hire (PCH) may have rules around adding a private plate. However, most should allow it.
Your finance documents will specify any particular rules. You will need to contact your finance provider once a plate has been assigned.
Cars supplied on a lease deal will require permission from the lease provider before a number plate can be assigned. As the lease company is the registered keeper, you will need to liaise with them to have the plate added. Finance providers may charge an administration fee for this process.
You will need to put your private plate onto retention before your lease deal ends. This should be done around eight weeks before returning your car.
Who should I tell when I assign a number plate?
Assigning a private number plate to your car also requires you to inform others of the change.
Your car insurance provider should be the first contact you make, ensuring your policy is updated. Many insurance companies will allow you to notify them of the change online, or you may need to telephone them. Some insurance companies will charge an administration fee to cover the change.
Make sure you also update car park passes or parking season tickets with your car’s new number plate.

The DVLA (Driving, Vehicle and Licensing Agency) has issued a warning to motorists in the coming days. The agency has advised that many of its online portals will be down for essential maintenance.
That means people who are trying to tell the DVLA they have sold a vehicle, get a V5C logbook and other services it provides won't be able to get access to the DVLA portals.
A spokesperson said: "The following services will be unavailable on Sunday 5 March 2023 between 7am and 1.20pm:

- Tell DVLA you’ve sold, transferred or bought a vehicle
- Private (personalised) number plates: Assign a private number to a vehicle
- Private (personalised) number plates: Take a private number off a vehicle
- Get a vehicle log book (V5C)
- Change your address on your vehicle log book (V5C)
It also said that these services will be unavailable from the times shown below:
- Pay a DVLA fine – 5.45am to 12.45pm
- Tax your vehicle (our online service and automated tax payment phone line – 0300 123 4321) – 5.30am to 7.15am
- Register your vehicle as off the road (SORN) (our online service and automated phone line – 0300 123 4321) – 5.30am to 7.15am
It comes as the DVLA warned anyone who passed their driving test before 2014 that it is almost time to renew their licence before its 10-year expiration date arrives or face a heavy fine.
Photocard driving licences, first introduced in 1998, are only valid for a decade after they are issued and anyone who continues to drive with an expired permit after that point could be fined as much as £1,000 or even have their vehicle seized.

How To Assign A Number Plate
Assigning a number plate is also known as transferring a registration. This is the process required to move the rights to a registration from a certificate (V750/V778) to a vehicle and is done through the DVLA.
To do this, there are certain factors you need to consider. The car firstly most be taxed and have a full MOT, or be MOT and tax expired for less than six months. It must have been taxed at some point and an age-identifying registration cannot be legally used to make your vehicle look newer than it is.
The vehicle also needs to be registered in the UK, is driveable, isn't a Q registered vehicle, has been taxed or had a SORN in place for the past five years, and it has to be available for inspection should it be required by the DVLA.
To assign a number plate to a car online or by post, the vehicle must belong to you. If it's a new vehicle then you'll need to wait for the V5/C sent to you in the post by the DVLA. Brand new cars can have number plates transferred by the dealer of the vehicle, if you give them the V750 or V778 document. Finally, if you already have a private reg on a vehicle you own, you need to apply with the DVLA to remove it first. If not, you could lose the reg.
To assign a registration online, you can visit the DVLA Transfer Service . Once you do this, the reg will be assigned immediately if a vehicle inspection is not required.
You will need to send the full V5/C (logbook) for the vehicle, and the certificate, to the DVLA who will arrange to assign the number plate. You will then receive a replacement V5/C in the post showing the new registration. At this point you can inform your insurer of the assignment of a private number plate and display the acrylic plates on the vehicle. Any applicable tax and MOT records will be automatically updated to reflect the newly assigned registration.
To assign a registration via the postal service, you need to send the completed V778 or V750 to the DVLA, the V5C with a completed V62, and if you're assigning the reg to another person's vehicle, you need to add them to section 2 of the V750 or V778 and put them as the nominee. Once this is complete, the DVLA will send you a new logbook with the new registration. You must immediately put your new plates on your vehicle, and not drive with the old ones on as they are now illegal. You also need to tell your insurance company of the change. You can also keep the old plates and put them back on the car if you choose to sell it or remove the private reg.
There are no additional charges to assign a number plate, as when you purchase a private registration, the cost includes a mandatory transfer fee. If you assign a registration to a car online and your vehicle doesn't require inspection, the change will be made immediately. If you do it by post, it can take up to a fortnight to be put in place, if no inspection is needed.
Depending on post and the DVLA's workload, it can take up to around six weeks for your new logbook to be sent out to you.

If you’re planning to sell an older vehicle and replace it with a new one, you can transfer the license plates to your new vehicle. To do this, both vehicles must be registered in your name and both must have the same registration code. Under certain circumstances, you can also transfer the license plates to the individual you’re selling the vehicle to. While the process for transferring plates from one vehicle to another can vary widely from one U.S. state to another, there are several basic steps that you can follow regardless of where you live.
Transferring Plates between Vehicles
- If you’ve lost your registration paperwork, you may be able to request a new copy at the motor vehicle office.
- If you’ve applied to transfer the vehicle but haven’t yet received the new title itself, that’s okay. Just bring in the title of the copy application that you’ve filled out and submitted.
- This may not apply in all states. In various states, you do not to show prove that you have car insurance unless you have changed insurance companies since the last time you registered a vehicle.
- In some cases, you may need to get an emissions test as well to make sure that the car isn’t emitting legal limits of toxic gasses.
- Not all states require a vehicle inspection prior to transferring license plates. To find out if your state requires it, visit the website for the state’s motor-vehicle agency.
- For example, if you live in New Jersey, you can find a list of all motor vehicle offices online at: https://www.state.nj.us/mvc/locations/facilitylocations.htm .
- This rule may not hold in every state. If you’re not sure if this applies in your state, ask a clerk at the tag office.
- Pay the fee with a credit or debit card, or by writing out a check to your state’s motor vehicle division.
Transferring Plates to Another Individual
- Your family member can then register the vehicle in their name using the license plates still on the car.
- If you sell the car to a family member who isn’t part of your immediate family, you must remove the plates prior to the sale.
- Likewise, if you sell the vehicle to someone you’re not at all related to, remove the plates from the car before finalizing the sale.
- If you’re not sure whether or not you can transfer plates in your state, check the website of your state’s motor vehicle agency. Or, ask a staff member at the DMV or tag office.
- Keep in mind that this may not be advantageous to you if you’re replacing an older car with a newer one. Without plates to transfer to the new vehicle, you’ll have to pay for new plates during registration.
- To find out if your state requires drivers to return their plates, check online with the state’s motor vehicle agency. Or, ask a clerk at the tag office.
- Alternately, find your state in AAA’s online listing and see if drivers are required to return plates to the state. Check online at: https://drivinglaws.aaa.com/tag/transfer-of-plates/ .

Everything you need to know before changing number plates
Posted in: dayinsure, driving advice.
Whether you are tempted by a new number plate for your own car or want to buy one for a loved one as a gift, upgrading a licence plate is a wonderful step for all car lovers. Not only does it add a more personal touch to the car if you choose to use a plate with significant letters or numbers, but it can also make your plate easier to remember and make your car stand out from the crowd.
However, before you change number plates, there are a series of things you must ensure. In this article, we look at a range of information about changing plates, from what the legal requirements are, to what you need to do to change them. Read on to find out everything you need to know before changing number plates.
Buying a plate from the DVLA
Buying a plate from a private dealer, using a plate you already own, you cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is, your plate must follow design restrictions, update the dvla, update your insurance company, where can i get a new number plate.
So, first things first, where can you get a new number plate from? Well, there is a range of popular ways you can get a new licence plate.
The main place to buy a new licence plate within the UK is from the DVLA. Through their personalised registrations site , you are able to buy licences both traditionally and via auction. They have a great range of plates at different price points and popularity. You’re more likely to find the more in-demand plate styles in the auctions, which take place around five times a year online.
Once you purchase the right to the plate (and you have your V750 Certificate of Entitlement), you’ll then need to get your plates made up through a registered supplier.
Alternatively, you can buy a plate through a private dealer. What stock is available on a private site is up to the dealer, but many will combine the current DVLA stock with private stock not available through the DVLA. If you are looking for something very specific that you can’t find on the DVLA, searching a private dealer could help you find it.
Once you have purchased the rights to the plates, you may need to get the plates made up yourself or, depending on the dealer, you may be able to buy the physical plates in the same transaction to be made up and sent to you.
Another option that people may want to go with is transferring private plates from an old vehicle to a new vehicle. For those that have already bought a private plate but are now upgrading their cars, you can reassign your private plate to your new car.
What are the legal requirements for a number plate in the UK?
If you are looking to purchase a new number plate, there are some legal requirements you’ll have to ensure it adheres to or else you could face a fine, an MOT failure or even a registration confiscation.
One of the most important legal requirements when it comes to purchasing and using personalised plates on any vehicles is a matter of dates. Registration plates contain an age indicator, and, as per DVLA regulations, you cannot use a plate that indicates a car is newer than it actually is.
Mark from SwiftReg explained this in detail when we spoke to him: “When purchasing a personalised registration, it is important you take into consideration the age of the vehicle you want to assign the registration to. As per regulations, you cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it really is. You can, however, make the vehicle appear older, or even better – use a dateless number registration to hide the vehicle age completely.
Mark explained how the age identifiers work on issued plates: “Every registration number has an age identifier depicting the year it was issued. The current format since 2001 is two numbers in the registration which identify the year the registration was released. Prior to this, the DVLA used Prefix (letter at the beginning of registration) and suffix (letter at the end of a registration) to depict the registration number age/release date. Dateless registration numbers on the other hand have no common way to identify the year of release, and therefore can be assigned to any vehicle.”
Mark suggests that people: “check your vehicle V5C document before purchasing a registration to confirm its vehicle age. This can be found under the ‘First Registered Date’ within the V5C document itself.”
Ray from Plates4Less explains that they are sure to highlight this to their customers: “The main thing we’re careful to ensure people know is that not all registration marks are suitable for all vehicles. Some registrations (most, in fact) have an age-identifier and the law states that you can’t make a vehicle appear newer than it is, so you can only use the registration on a vehicle which was registered at the same time or after the registration’s date of issue.”
Ray told us that they even “have a tool on our website to help customers check their vehicle age first, as well as ensuring each registration states the earliest year vehicle it can be used with.”
It’s not something you may have realised, but all registration plates in Great Britain follow the same design and display parameters. You may be aware that you shouldn’t drive with a dirty licence plate, but did you know that having a plate that uses non-standard typefaces, for example, will get you a fine also?
The team at Absolute Reg explained “Something people often don’t realise is that you can’t change the layout of a registration mark on the number plate. In fact, there can be quite a hefty fine – £1000! – if a driver is caught displaying their registration mark illegally.
Ricky from Reg Transfers went into more detail about these restrictions: “You may not display non-standard character spacing, fonts, emblems etc, and you may not alter the appearances of characters by the placement of screws or bolts. Incorrectly displayed number plates may earn a fine, an MOT failure and confiscation of your registration number.”
What do I need to do to use a new registration plate?
So, once you’ve purchased a new number plate through the DVLA or through a private dealer, what do you need to do before you can use it?
The first thing you should do once you have purchased a new number plate is update the DVLA that you plan to change plates on your vehicle. This transfer will need to be completed before you start using the plate, but once completed you will no longer be able to use your old plate on that vehicle.
Ricky from Reg Transfers spoke to us about this, saying: “You must complete the formalities and have DVLA assign the new registration to your car in their records. Make sure the registration transfer is complete and the new registration is shown on your new V5C document, or you have received confirmation of transfer from DVLA, before changing the plastic number plates on your car. You may not just change the number shown on your plates without first completing the formalities.”
The team at Absolute Reg explained the process: “The quickest way to complete a transfer for your private number plate is via the DVLA online assignment system. The online service is open from 7 AM until 7 PM and you should have your V5C details to hand along with the V750 or V778 details for the registration mark. The vehicle will need to have valid tax and a valid MOT (if required) for the assignment of your new personalised number plate to your vehicle to be processed.”
As well as updating the DVLA of the change, you’ll also need to update your insurance company. Just as if anything else on your policy changes, any insurance policy will need to be changed to ensure it’s covering the new plate, and not still attached to the old one. As with updating the DVLA records, this should be done before the plate is put on, but not so early that you will be using the outdated plates.
Absolute Reg highlighted this, telling us: “The final thing we’re always sure to remind customers to do is update their insurance records once the change has been made. Changing a registration mark should not affect their premium at all, though some companies may charge an admin fee for updating the records.”
If you are coming to the end of your annual car insurance policy and are just waiting for your new plates to be made up, why not bridge the gap between policies with temporary insurance instead of having to go through the process of changing a policy just after it’s begun. With our car insurance for a week (or longer if you need) you’ll be able to be insured in as little as 15 minutes and, once your new plates arrive, you can set up an annual insurance policy.
So, whether you want to add your initials to your plate to really personalise your vehicle or want to gift a plate to someone you know, by following these steps you are ready to do so.

HOW TO TRANSFER A NUMBER PLATE
Although transferring a number plate involves a fair amount of paperwork and documentation, the process is quite simple once you get started.
To help you out, our guide includes everything you need to know to either transfer your registration plate or retain it so that you can use it again in the future.
Can I transfer my number plate?
Before you begin, you should check whether you can transfer your number plate.
Registration transfers are managed by the DVLA. To be eligible for a registration transfer, your car (or another vehicle) must:
- be registered with the DVLA.
- have an MOT or heavy goods vehicle (HGV) test certificate.
- be taxed (or been registered as SORN) continuously for the past 5 years.
- be available for inspection (if the DVLA chooses to do so).
While transferring a cherished number plate is straightforward, you can’t move a newer plate to an older car or transfer a Q plate to another vehicle.
What are the different types of transfers?
There are three different types of registration transfer, all of which are covered by the V317 ‘transfer or retain a vehicle registration number’ form:
- car-to-car transfers
- transferring a registration you already hold to a new vehicle
- retaining a cherished plate
Let’s examine what they are in more detail.
A car-to-car registration transfer involves changing your registration (and number plates) from one vehicle to another. Typically, this happens when you want to take your cherished plate from an existing car to a new one.
To transfer a registration plate, you’ll need the V5 registration forms for both vehicles, valid MOT certificates for both cars (if required) and to pay a fee.
Retention/certificate to a vehicle
This happens if you want to replace the existing registration plate on a vehicle with another that you hold on a Certificate of Entitlement (V750) or a Retention Document (V778).
To swap the old plate for the new one you’ll need to complete a form and pay a fee.
Vehicle to retention
If you have a cherished plate that you want to keep, but don’t have a vehicle you want to assign it to yet, then you’ll need to complete a form and pay a fee to retain your number plate. This allows you to keep hold of the number plate to use when you want to.
How to complete each transfer
To help you complete the process, we’ve compiled a how-to guide for each type of number plate transfer.
Car-to-car transfer
To transfer a personalised or cherished registration plate from one vehicle to another, you’ll need the V5 registration forms for both cars and valid MOT certificates for both vehicles.
Once you have this, you’ll need to complete the V317 DVLA form and pay a fee. You can download and print the form or complete it online. Both vehicle owners will need to sign the transfer form to show they're happy for the transfer to take place.
Once the DVLA has the information they need, they'll begin the transfer process. On average, the process should take between 4-6 weeks, but it can take longer at periods of high demand.
To complete a registration transfer, you will need to complete the V317 DVLA form and provide details of the new registration plate. This is either the V750 Certificate of Entitlement for a registration that has not previously been used on a car or the V778 Retention Document if it has.
You’ll also need to provide a copy of the V5C registration document and pay afee. Timescales for the transfer are the same as a car-to-car transfer. At the end of the process, you’ll receive an updated logbook (V5) with the new registration details.
If you want to keep your cherished number plate when disposing of a car, then you’ll need to retain it. You can do this by completing the V317 ‘transfer or retain a vehicle registration number’ form and include either the vehicle’s logbook (V5C) or green ‘new keeper’ slip with a completed V62.
You’ll need to pay a fee, and will receive a new logbook for the car with a new registration plate number and a V778 retention document for your cherished number plate.
Where can I get the V317 form?
The V317 form is needed for all three types of transfer.
You can download and print a copy of the V317 form on the DVLA website.
On the same website, you can also find online forms which enable you to take a private plate off a vehicle and renew or replace your private registration plate .
What happens when I sell a car with a personalised number plate?
If you decide to sell a car with a personalised number plate you can choose to do the following:
- Sell the number plate with the car.
- Transfer the number plate to your new vehicle or another car you own.
- Retain the registration for use on another vehicle.
- Give up the right to a personalised number plate.
We've outlined the steps above which should help you transfer your number plate between vehicles.
If you choose to give up your personalised number plate, you’ll need to complete the relevant section in the V778 or V750 document and return it to the DVLA. You may be entitled to a refund if you surrender your registration plate to the DVLA.
It currently costs £80 to transfer a number plate with the DVLA. You can complete the V317 form online or download and print it.
The DVLA estimates it takes between 4 and 6 weeks to transfer a number plate. However, the total time it takes depends on how busy the DVLA is.
Yes, you can keep your number plate if you sell your car. You need to let the DVLA know you want to do this by completing the V317 form. You can either transfer the number plate to a new vehicle or retain the number plate to use on a car in the future.
The only exception is Q number plates, which must stay with the vehicle to which they were originally assigned.
At Halfords, you can build a set of number plates, or an individual front or back replacement plate. You can order your new plates online for collection at your choice of Halfords stores. You’ll need to provide details of ownership (with your V5) and prove your identity before you can collect your plates.
If you’re in a rush (or don’t want to get your hands dirty), we can fit your new plates for you.
Driving with the wrong plates displayed (or without any number plates at all) is a legal offence. You risk a fine of up to £1,000 and your vehicle will fail its MOT.

How do i assign a number plate from a certificate, onto a car.
First of all, we need to establish what sort of certificate the number plate is on. There are two different types of 'certificates' which personalised number plates are stored upon.
- V750 Certificate (a PINK coloured form called a 'Certificate of Entitlement')
- V778 Certificate (a GREEN coloured form called a 'Retention Document')
Where do I start?
Whether your registration is stored upon a V750 or a V778, the procedure to get the registration mark assigned to the vehicle will go down a similar route.
The easiest and quickest way to assign a registration to a vehicle, is now to use the DVLA's new online service .
This is really easy to follow and allows a registration to be put onto a vehicle instantly, so we won't cover the step-by-step process here.
V750 Certificate of Entitlement
The V750 certificate will show the details of the 'purchaser' along with the 'nominee' details.
You will first of all need to check that the registered keeper named on the V5C or V5C/2 of the vehicle to receive the registration mark, matches exactly with either, the purchaser on the V750 or the nominee on the V750.
You also need to check that the expiry date on the V750 has not expired. This will be worded on the V750 as "this registration mark must be assigned to a vehicle before DD/MM/YYYY".
V778 Retention Document
The V778 document will show the details of the 'grantee' along with the 'nominee' details.
You will first of all need to check that the registered keeper named on the V5C of the vehicle to receive the registration mark, matches exactly with either, the grantee or the nominee on the V778.
You also need to check that the expiry date on the V778 has not passed. This will be worded on the V778 as "this registration mark must be assigned to a vehicle before DD/MM/YYYY"
Once you have checked the certificate details above you are ready to submit the application as follows:
If applying by paper, you will need to find the section on either the V750 or V778 titled 'Assigning your registration mark to a vehicle'. Here you will need the signature of the purchaser if it is a V750, or the signature of the grantee if it is a V778.
In this section you will also be required to print the current registration mark of the vehicle that is going to receive the cherished number plate, along with the validation character which is to be found on either the V5C or V5C2 next to where the registration mark is printed.
Now that you have filled out the V750 or V778 you need to send it into the DVLA in Swansea, along with the receiving vehicle documentation listed below.
Vehicle documentation required:
- The original Vehicle Registration Certificate coded as a V5C (If you have just acquired the vehicle, you may submit the V5C/2 'new keepers supplement' along with a V62 application form)
What happens when the DVLA has completed the assignment?
DVLA will contact you to arrange an appointment if your vehicle needs to be inspected. Otherwise, your application will be approved in 2 weeks.
You’ll be sent:
- A new V5C registration certificate - this can take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive
- Your original MOT back (if you sent it to tax the vehicle)
Your application may take longer if DVLA needs to inspect your vehicle.

How Do I Put A Number Plate On Retention
Under the DVLA Retention Scheme, the DVLA allows you to remove a registration number from a vehicle, and retain it, without assigning it to another vehicle. The registration number is kept on a document called the V778 'Retention Document' (or Retention Certificate).

How to transfer a personalised number plate
Owning a private number plate is a sign of prestige for many, like signifying a business name, or even just for fun. If you are in possession of a private plate there may come a time where you need to transfer or change the number. If you have recently bought a new private registration you will need to have it assigned to your vehicle.
Already have your private number plate? You will need to follow the necessary steps to perform a DVLA number plate change. In the event that you have decided to sell your personalised number, you will need to take the appropriate measures to legally transfer the private plate to its new owner.
• Transfer a private number plate from car to car
• Assign a new number plate to your car
• Request a Certificate of Entitlement (V750) for a vehicle
• Request a Retention Document (V778) for a vehicle
How to transfer a private number plate from car to car
When transferring a private number plate from one car to another there are certain steps that must be followed to complete a DVLA number transfer successfully. Essentially it is a 2-part process, with part 1 being the removal of the private plate from a vehicle, and part-2 assigning the plate to the new vehicle.
How to get started
For a vehicle to be eligible for transfer, there are specific requirements that need to be met. The vehicle must be:
• Registered with the DVLA
• Be operable (meaning it can move under its own power)
• Be available for inspection.
• Have a current MOT, (or in the case of HGV vehicles, an HGV test certificate.)
• Proof of tax for the past 5 years (or currently have a SORN in place - Standard Off Road Notification).
• Registration numbers that begin with ‘NIQ’ or ‘Q’ cannot be retained.
Applications to remove the plate from the original vehicle can be made online on the DVLA website with the form V317and a transaction fee of £80. The vehicle's logbook (V5C) must be in your possession, and if the vehicle does not require inspection, the private number will be immediately removed.
A retention reference number will be supplied immediately on completion, of which can then be used to assign the private plate to the new vehicle using the DVLA’s online service.
If the private number is to be used at a later date, a retention document will be issued (V778) along with a new logbook by post. If the number is to be assigned to a new person, or surrendered, the V778 will be used to complete this transaction.
Alternatively, applications can be made using the postal service and although this way will take a bit longer the cost remains the same at £80. You will need the following documents for the DVLA reg transfer to be completed.
• Form V317 for transfer or retention of the vehicle registration number.
• V5C vehicle logbook (or V62 new keeper document)
• £80 transfer fee
Once the application is received the vehicle's original registration number will be automatically reinstated and you will receive a V778 retention document for the private number and a new logbook (V5C) for the vehicle.
To assign your private number to a different vehicle the V778 and V5C must be sent with a completed V62 application for a vehicle registration certificate.
How long does it take to complete the transfer?
The process can be completed in just a couple of minutes when completed online. A reference number will be provided on the removal of the private plate from the vehicle. This reference number may then be used to assign the private plate to a new vehicle immediately online using the DVLA portal.
By post, the process takes much longer with numbers being unassigned and reassigned to another vehicle in 2 different applications which can take around 2 weeks on average. Receipt of a new logbook can take 4-6 weeks.
How to assign a new private number plate to your car.
To assign a brand new private number to your vehicle the process is relatively straightforward. Vehicle requirements remain the same, it must have:
• An MOT
• Be operable,
• Have proof of tax
• Available for inspection.
On purchasing a new private number plate from a dealer or individual you will need to assign the private plate to your vehicle. For purchases of a brand new vehicle, the car dealer will often perform this task for you if the vehicle has not yet been registered.
Any numbers used must meet the eligibility requirements as specified by the DVLA. Any number beginning with ‘NIQ’ or ‘Q’ cannot be used nor can a number be assigned to a Q registered vehicle (vehicles with questionable age or identity). It is also not permissible to assign any number that would make a vehicle appear newer than it really is.
Assigning a number to a new vehicle can be performed either online or by post, whichever method is used the transaction is free.
To assign your new private number online you can enter vehicle information via the DVLA portal. Current registration number and logbook information will be required along with other details. If the vehicle is one that has just been bought then you will need to wait to receive the updated V5C logbook before performing the transaction. If the vehicle does not require an inspection the new private number will be assigned immediately.
Assigning a new private number by post will require you to submit the vehicle logbook (V5C), proof of registration entitlement or retention, and V62 application for a vehicle registration certificate. After your private number plate is successfully assigned you will receive a new vehicle logbook.
How long does it take to assign the new private number? To assign a new number to your vehicle using the DVLA website service takes just a few minutes with the new number being assigned to your vehicle immediately.
By post, the new number assignment takes much longer with a new logbook taking 4-6 weeks to arrive. However, the car can be driven on the new plates as soon as the application is approved, there is no need to wait until the logbook is received.
Certificate of Entitlement (V750) to a vehicle
A certificate of entitlement or V750 is the document issued by the DVLA for brand new vehicle registration. This certification is used to issue registration numbers that have never been previously used. The V750 document can be used to assign your private number plate to your vehicle. As with other methods, the vehicle must have an MOT certificate, be taxed, and driveable. Assigning a number to your vehicle from a V750 form is free of charge.
In most cases, the new private plate can be easily assigned to your vehicle online. However, should the DVLA deem that an inspection is required it could delay your application. You will need to supply information from the V750 form and the vehicle logbook (V5C). Provided all the information is correct, your new number plate will be assigned immediately and an updated logbook sent to you.
Using a V750 retention form by post to assign private plates to your vehicle takes a bit longer than the online option. You will need to supply the V750 form, a V62 application for a vehicle registration certificate, and the vehicle logbook (V5C). The new number will be assigned to your vehicle once the application is processed.
How long does it take?
As with most other processes that are performed on the DVLA website, using a V750 to assign your new private number plates takes just a few minutes. Provided no inspection is required the new number will be immediately assigned.
Postal applications will take longer with new numbers being assigned typically within a 2 week period. This can take longer if the DVLA requires an inspection of the vehicle to be performed.
Retention Document (V778) to a vehicle
A V778 retention document remains valid and allows you to assign a number plate to a vehicle for up to 10 years. All vehicles must be roadworthy MOT’d and taxed to have a private plate assigned. If you have held a number and need to assign it to a vehicle using a V778 you can accomplish the task in 2 ways, and both are free.
Online Using the information documented on the V778 form you may assign a number to a vehicle via the DVLA portal. You will need to provide information from the form and vehicle details from the VC5 logbook. Once completed the number will be assigned to your vehicle immediately providing that an inspection is not required.
Postal applications will take longer and still require the information from the V778 retention for and V5C vehicle logbook along with a V62 application for a vehicle registration certificate. If all the information is satisfactory the new number will be assigned and can be used on your vehicle.
Length of time
Using a V778 or a V750 to assign a new private number plate to a vehicle can be done instantly online by using the DVLA website.
Assignment of numbers by post takes a bit longer with numbers typically being assigned to vehicles in a couple of weeks.
Both processes can be delayed should the DVLA require a vehicle inspection.
Final steps after transfer
After the transfer a new private number plate is completed you will need to complete some additional steps.
• Do not sell the vehicle until the new logbook (V5c) is received
• Inform your insurance company of changes
• Update the registration number on automatic payment accounts (emissions or congestion charges)
Making sure that all your information is updated correctly will ensure that any change or transfer of private number plates through the DVLA goes smoothly.

Assignment Of A Private Number To A Vehicle
The transferring of a private registration plate from a certificate (V750/V778) to a vehicle is commonly known as 'assignment' or assigning a number plate to a car.
You will need to send the full V5C (log book) for the vehicle, and the certificate, to the DVLA who will arrange to assign the number plate, and you will receive a replacement V5C back in the post showing the new registration. At this point you can inform your insurer of the assignment of a private number plate and display the acrylic plates on the vehicle. Any applicable tax and MOT records will be automatically updated to reflect the newly assigned registration.
Checklist before Assigning a Number Plate To a Car
Before contacting the DVLA about assigning a number plate to a car, there are some criteria that must be met to assign a registration to a vehicle:
- The vehicle must either hold both current MOT and tax; be taxed and MOT expired; or MOT expired and tax expired less than six months.
- The vehicle must be subject to MOT testing at some time during it's life.
- You can't use a number plate to make a vehicle look newer than it is e.g. you can't assign a 68 series registration to an 51 registration car. You are allowed to use an older registration.
- You can't perform a number plate transfer onto a Q registered vehicle.
- Be registered with DVLA in the UK
- Be able to move under its own power
- Have been taxed or had a SORN in place continuously for the past 5 years
- Be available for inspection
DVLA will check your number plate assignment application and contact you if your vehicle needs an inspection.
How To Apply Assignment To A Registration Plate
If the vehicle is registered to you, you can apply online or by post.
If it is a used vehicle that you have just bought, you will need to wait for the DVLA to send you a new V5C in your name before you apply to assign the private registration plate online or by post.
If your vehicle is brand new, give the dealer your V750 or V778 document and ask them to apply.
If registered to someone else and you want the private number to be transferred to them, you can apply online or by post.
If you already have a private number on your vehicle, apply to take it off first. You could lose the right to use the number if you do not.
Assign a Number Plate Online
When you assign a number plate online, the new registration number will be assigned immediately if your vehicle does not need an inspection. Be ready to put new number plates on the vehicle as soon as you've applied to assign a number plate online.

You will need to send all of the following documents to DVLA:
- The completed V750 or V778 - the address is on the form
- The vehicle’s log book (V5C) or green ‘new keeper’ slip with a completed V62 ‘ Application For A Vehicle Registration Certificate V5C ’
- If you’re assigning the number to someone else’s vehicle, add them as a ‘nominee’ - complete section 2 of the V750 or V778.

- A V10 ‘application for vehicle tax’ form
- The right amount of vehicle tax

- Put new number plates on the vehicle before you drive it

You must not sell or get rid of a vehicle until you get the new log book (V5C).
Assigning A Number Plate To A Vehicle That Is Not Yours
If the registration plate is to be assigned to a vehicle that is not registered in your name - for example, the private plate is for a gift - you will need to add them as a ‘nominee’ and complete section 2 of the V750 or V778.
How Much Does it Cost to Assign a Number Plate?

How to transfer a number plate from one car to another
Need to know how to transfer a number plate between vehicles our step-by-step guide breaks it down.
For a great many drivers, a personalised number plate is the finishing touch to their pride and joy. If you’ve got a car registration with fewer letters and numbers than the norm - or you’ve got one that means something personal to you - that can be a great way to show people you care about your car.
The most expensive number plates can fetch six-figure sums in some cases, and it’s such a lucrative business that some thousands of drivers are caught each year trying to beat the system.
If you’ve splashed out on a personalised number plate of your own, you won’t want to wave goodbye to it if you end up selling the vehicle it’s attached to. In this instance you’ll want to transfer a number plate from one car to another. Here’s how it works.
How to transfer a number plate
As is the case with licensing and car tax , vehicle registration is overseen by the DVLA. If you want to transfer a number plate between cars, you’ll need to fill in a V317 form.
Using this form, there are two methods: the first is to move a number plate from your old car to your new one, while the second is to keep hold of the registration using something called a retention document. The latter allows you to keep the registration from up to 10 years, so you don’t have to affix it to a new car right away.
You can fill out a paper version of the form or complete the process online, but before you begin there’s a list of requirements you need to meet.
First, the new vehicle needs to exist. You might think this goes without saying, you can’t change the number plate on a car the DVLA has no record of.
In addition, the vehicle must be available for inspection when needed by the DVLA and be capable of passing a roadworthiness test ( an MOT , for example). Finally, the registration you are adding cannot make the vehicle appear younger than it is. That means you can't put year-specific plates on a car built before the year in question. This is designed primarily to stop unscrupulous used car dealers from making a quick buck by fitting plates to old cars to make them look newer and sell them for an inflated value.
If these aspects are all met, then you're good to go. Simply fill out form V317 with the registration, make, model and VIN number of the car you want to remove the plate from, add your contact details in case there are any issues arising from the transfer, then fill in the details of the vehicle you want to put the registration on. And remember you need the V5C documents for both vehicles if you are transferring the number plate between one vehicle and another. You don't necessarily have to own the vehicle you want to change the number plate onto either.
How to retain a number plate
If you're retaining a number plate, then you need to fill out another part of the form. This still asks for the registration, make, model and VIN number, and your details, but then you need to fill out the details of the person who is retaining the registration. If this part isn't filled, then the registered keeper of the vehicle will automatically receive the retention document. This is DVLA form V778, and you use this form to transfer the registration to a new car when you're ready.
Whether you transfer or retain the registration, you'll also need to stump up £80 to get it processed.
Once your application has been submitted, it will take around two weeks for the transfer to process, although it may take longer if the DVLA want to inspect the vehicles involved. Once completed, you will receive a new V5C registration for the vehicle that had its registration removed. Here you will see that the vehicle has reverted to its previous registration (if it had one) or it will have a new age-related plate assigned to it. The new V5C for the car with the personal plate will also come through at around the same time.
The small print
There's plenty of small print that goes with the transfer of a number plate. The vehicle must have been taxed (or had a SORN declaration ) continually for five years, and if it has been SORNed for more than five years, then it will need to be taxed. If you're thinking of transferring a number plate with a Q or QNI prefix, then stop, because these can't be transferred.
If the vehicle is sold before you apply to retain the personal plate, then you don't have the right to retain it. Also, if you don't remove the number before confirming the car's destruction to the DVLA, then you lose all rights to the plate as well.
In the unfortunate instance of the vehicle being stolen, then you can apply to keep the personal plate immediately to safeguard it, but you won't have the ability to transfer it to a new car or have a V778 issued until 6 months after the date of the theft, or once the vehicle has been recovered. You won't get a reminder from the DVLA about this, you'll need to remember to do it yourself.
And of course, any personal number plates that you have made for your car must be standard issue and clearly legible. So that means no non-standard fonts, correct spacing of the letters and numbers and not making numbers look like letters, and vice versa (5 and S, 8 and B, etc). It sounds obvious but legal details are also a requirement, so when speccing your plate make sure it has those ticked. If you've adhered to the above then you can fit your shiny new plate to your new car.
Now you’ve dealt with your personalised plate, read about the registrations that were banned for being too rude and if you're looking for a new car, take a look at our sister site Buyacar...

6 Steps to Install a License Plate by Yourself
Begin by gathering your tools and supplies . You will need a Phillips or a flathead screwdriver, your new car tag, and the proper screws. If your vehicle is brand new, the screws for the license place holder may be located in the glove compartment or console.

Attach the new tag using the screws you previously removed. Turn the screws in a clockwise manner. Make sure that the tag is secure but do not over tighten the bolts.
Affix the expiration date sticker to the top left or right corner of the new license plate or on the windshield per your state’s specific requirements.
Place your vehicle’s registration receipt in your glove box along with your owner’s manual and insurance card .

Vehicle Registration Changes
It’s important to keep the information on your registration current and accurate. fortunately, it’s not difficult to make basic changes to your vehicle registration, prepare your documents..
If you DO have the title:
- Write or type the correct or changed name directly on the title, above the name to be updated.
- Complete Section F of the Statement of Facts (REG 256) form, and add your signature to the bottom of the form.
If you do NOT have the title (due to loss, theft, damage):
- Complete an Application for Replacement or Transfer of Title (REG 227) form.
- Gather at least one proof of ownership document as evidence that the vehicle belongs to you. This could be the registration card, a Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin, a Letter of Release from the lienholder, or a Bill of Sale along with a Registration Certificate.
- Be prepared to pay the duplicate certificate of title fee .
If a lienholder has the title:
- Give the completed and signed REG 256 form to your lienholder and ask them to submit it (along with your title) to the DMV.
If your last name is hyphenated or is multiple words, it will appear as one word on your California Certificate of Title and registration card. This is not an error and does not require correction.
Submit your documents to DMV.
- Take your title and completed Statement of Facts (REG 256) to your local DMV office, or mail it to:
Department of Motor Vehicles Vehicle Registration Operations PO Box 942869 Sacramento, CA 94269-0001
- If you are correcting your name on your registration ( not changing it), you may mail your completed REG 256 and 227 forms, evidence of ownership, and duplicate certificate of title fee to the address shown in Step 1. (You may also take it into a DMV office , if you prefer.)
- You will also be asked to show your driver license or ID card and a valid passport, military ID, state or federal agency-issued ID, college or university-issued student ID, or ID card issued by a California-based employer.
- Once you have given your lienholder your completed REG 256 form, they will submit it to the DMV on your behalf along with your title.
Once you have given the DMV all required documents, you can expect to receive a new registration card immediately (if in-person at a DMV office) or within 1-2 weeks by mail, and a new California Certificate of Title in about 4-6 weeks.
