Registering a new car with your personalised number plate

When purchasing a new vehicle the dealership will assign you with a DVLA number plate randomly from the pool of number plates they are offered,

It is possible to register your new vehicle with your personalised number plate- the simplest way is if your personal number plate is held on a V750 or V778 retention certificate- by signing the form and handing this to the sales administration department at the dealership your vehicle can be registered with your private number plate. See cherished number plate transfer for which section of the form to sign.

If your cherished number plate is currently held on your vehicle- you will need to sign and complete form V317 for your current car - the "donor vehicle" and the sales administration team can complete the details of your new vehicle once it is assigned a chassis number etc.

Transferring the cherished plate from your vehicle means you will need to submit the V5 registration document as well as the MOT if applicable- for full details on what needs to be sent please refer to the notes section on form V317.

As with all private number plate transfers- it's vital you update your insurance company as soon as possible so that your policy will display your correct car registration number plate at all times.
