Help On Selling Number Plate... - Saxperience

evans1089 · 30th January 2009, 10:44

Right, i can't find the specific answers on the dvla website...

I need to know how much this will cost me...

To take my private plate off- P15RKA,
Register the original plate back on- 03 plate,
Put the P15RKA on retention,
And then put the P15RKA in someone else's name...

Much love to those who help

Well... it will cost you £120 to put the plate onto rentention and to put the old plates back onto your car.

When you get the rentention certificate you then need to pay £25 to change ownership.

I have recently had to do this, hope it helps

Many Thanks! So £145 in total?

I thought it was £80 for rentention and then £25 for the new V750 Certificate of Entitlement.

no its £80 to swap it straight to another vehicle, £120 to put onto retention.

Ah cheers mate, new to this private plate game lol.

Ooops i was wrong

DVLA number plate retention fees
Application to retain a registration number: DVLA fee £105
Application to make an amendment to a retention certificate: DVLA fee £25
Application to renew a retention certificate: DVLA fee £25.

So for you it would be 105 and then 25 to change ownernershop so £130.

Both wrong! You put it on retention for a cost of £105 then they issue you with a new 03 plate for a fee of £25 iirc and then when you put it on another vehicl you pay an assignmeant fee etc?

www.dvlaregistrations.co.uk be your best bet!

mintminton · 30th January 2009, 11:24

Yeah, then if you need to renew the rentetion before the 12 months is up its another £25!

This is why i asked on here, cos i wasnt sure lool.. anyone give me an approx? or definate answer..?

Luke · 30th January 2009, 11:26

To be fair, the DVLA registrations etc isn't clear.

I had problems trying to understand the whole process.

Yes, it's £105 to take the number plate off your vehicle and put it onto retention, then a further £25 to change ownership. Sorry for the confusion, i'v just recently done it a couple of months ago too!
