Reg number retention

Recommended Posts

I can't get through to the DVLA so thought i'd ask you guys as its been a while

since i did this.

 

My Range Rover has the previous owners personal plate on it which i said they could have

back once i'd finished getting it back on the road. Its now taxed, insured and mot'd

 

I put the reg on retention using form V317 and make him the new grantee so the

retention certificate will be in his name and get sent to him.

 

Obviously the DVLA will issue my Range Rover with a new number, do i have to send the VC5

which is in my name and current mot with the application ?

 

Thanks

VIN number and reg on the MOT.

 

When ever i changed reg numbers in the past i took the mot with me which

came back stamped and with the new reg number written on it it hence me

thinking i should send that as well but no mention of it on the V317

When I change a plate off a car I send off:

 

log book, cheque for retention, V317 form and MOT

 

I usually then get back to the new log book with MOT matching the new licence plate.

 

A couple of weeks later I get the retention certificate so I can put it onto another car in the future.

 

Also, now days you have to send it directly to dvla Swansea whereas in the past it was sent to your local dvla office.

I don't get this bit though, as the MOT wont match the car anymore!

 

That's what i thought hence i checked.

 

It must change on the mot data base so our bit of paper is

somewhat pointless as you don't really need it anymore

When I changed the reg on my car (just before they closed the local DVLA offices) they didn't need the MOT. Later when I needed to get a copy of the MOT I went to a Halfords service centre with the V5 and they printed a new MOT from the database (cost me a tenner). The new MOT certificate had the new reg on it.
