Eligibility & Legal

DVLA Golden Rule

  • A plate cannot make the vehicle appear newer than it is.
  • ‘Q’ registrations are non-transferable.

Vehicle Requirements

  • DVLA registered & valid MOT (if required).
  • Taxed or on SORN.
  • Available for DVLA inspection if requested.

Certificates & Renewal

  • V750 = Certificate of Entitlement (unassigned); V778 = Retention (taken off a vehicle).
  • Keep originals safe. Certificates last 10 years and can be renewed to retain rights.

Fees

  • DVLA transfer/retention fee is £80. Many new DVLA plates start from ~£250 (incl. VAT & fee).
  • Physical plate manufacture is separate via registered suppliers.

Display & Notification

  • Use a DVLA‑registered supplier; follow legal font/spacing/markings.
  • Notify your insurer and any toll/parking services after assignment.

Restricted & Banned

  • ‘Q’ registrations are non‑transferable.
  • Offensive or disallowed combinations are blocked and cannot be assigned.

Safety Tip

  • Don’t post photos of V750/V778/V5C online—these can be misused. Share securely only when requested.

FAQ

How long does DVLA assignment take?
Often minutes online when eligible; postal cases usually 1–2 weeks. We manage end‑to‑end.
Can I keep a plate on retention?
Yes—DVLA retention certificates (V750/V778) let you own a plate before assigning it to a vehicle.
Do I need to notify my insurer?
Yes—update insurance and any toll/parking accounts once your new registration is active.
