You're welcome to make an offer on the cherished registration "724 ADA". If the seller is a third-party, we'll relay your offer to them, and let you know their response.
Dateless plates excepted, a registration can only be fitted to a vehicle which is either the same age as, or newer than the reg. Provided your vehicle is not older than the registration's period of issue, the plate can be transferred.
No. NetPlates can provide you with the registration number on a V778/ V750 Retention Certificate, which is valid for up to 10 years, with a renewal period available after that duration expires. This will give you plenty of time to consider your options. If your current vehicle is incompatible with this plate due to age, you can get your perfect registration now, and wait until you have a compatible vehicle for it.
All power to you! You can purchase a registration for someone else and their name can be added to the V778/V750 Retention Certificate, as a nominee if you wish. The only requirement is that the name you provide matches the registered name for the vehicle to which the registration will be assigned.
If you're transferring online, we'd expect the process to take 7-10 working days. This is because we need to wait to receive both the buyer's and seller’s paperwork. If we need to send physical paperwork to the DVLA to complete the transfer, the process can take up to 21 working days. We endeavour to complete transfers as soon as possible, and our friendly, professional team will keep you informed throughout the whole process. We're in the office from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, so you can instantly talk to us during those hours on 0121 777 6555 if you have questions or need an update along the way.
When the transfer process is complete, you'll receive notification either from Net Plates Ltd or DVLA Swansea.
If the transfer was arranged online, you'll get an EV948 document via email and a confirmation email from us.
If you submitted a postal application, a new Log Book V5C will arrive by post.
Once you've received one of the above, you're ready to go, and you can fit the physical plates to your vehicle.
If you're having the physical number plates made by a third party, you'll need to produce the EV948 when you do so. But don't forget that if you require, NetPlates can handle the entire transfer process for you free of charge, and supply plates in a range of formats. Simply select the options you want when making the purchase.
