Snooze Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Anyone any experience with transferring a registration plate? I am trading in my car for something else next week, and want to transfer my number plate onto the new car, but the DVLA documentation and the V317 form aren't entirely clear as to how to go about it when cars are changing hands at the same time.

Abz Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I just did mine, but waiting for it all to happen. If you are trading it in & the logbook is going to the trader then just put the traders details in the first box on the left and then your details on the right, with the registration of the new car. Think it is supposed to take a couple of weeks but I am still waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Cheers! Do you then send it off with both V5/C2s, both MOT certificates and a cheque for £80 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Cheers! Do you then send it off with both V5/C2s, both MOT certificates and a cheque for £80 ? Yep, though I didn't have the old MOT to send off. I'd personally double check with the trader, they might be able to take care of it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Asked the trader about it. He didn't seem interested. Said he "wouldn't get involved" and I "could sort it out if I wanted to do it". As far as I can make out, I need him to actually be complicit in at least letting me send his V5C2 off for him with the transfer.....

Yep, you also need his signature too dude, so take the form with you to fill out. They let you put your mobile number too under the address bit, incase they need to contact you. Hope you get it sorted out alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
