DVLA Speeds up the process for selling private number plates on retention

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

The DVLA are introducing changes to the process of assigning a vehicle registration mark to a vehicle not registered to the grantee. Under the current rules if a private number plate is on Retention Certificate, V778, or is on a Certificate of Entitlement, V750, the certificate Nominee has to be added at the DVLA’s head office in Swansea and returned, before the registration number can be assigned to a vehicle registered to anyone other than the grantee. This process can take several weeks and will hold up the sale of a personal number plate held on certificate. Under the new rules the nominee will be able to be added or changed at the point of assignment at the local DVLA office, thus speeding up the process.

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Today, Tuesday 7th October 2008, was the release of the last remaining prefix number plates to be released by the DVLA. For the most part DVLA number plates 1-20 were available. With exception to private number plates already sold at a DVLA action or those held back for inclusion in future auctions.

Well there was a great deal of competition for the new release of DVLA number plates and by lunch time a lot of the popular infantry had been cleared out completely. That said the flurry of activity was constant into the evening.
