Private Plate

[irish_ram]

Hi All,

A bit of a random question but hope someone can help.

My Wife has a Private plate which we have retained off a Vehicle we are getting rid of so the original registration has been allocated back to the Vehicle.

The problem she has is the car was registered to our old address which we do not have access to so the new V5C which I presume was automatically sent out when the Car Reg changed went to that address.

Now she has the old V5C which has our previous address on and also the private plate reg.

My question is if she fills out section 7 I think it is with her new address and sends it off, will the DVLA check the car details and realise the new V5C also need the reg changed aswell as her address details. Or will they just change her address and then send her a new V5C but it will still have the private plate on?

Thanks for any help in advance

Yeah that was my first thought but there is more chance of finding the Loch Ness monster  than getting through ot these people. Going to try them again this morning but thought I owuld see if anyone had the same situation on here.

I would say yes they will. If you send the V5 back (filled in with change of address) with the V750 then I think that should be fine. As above tho, best to call to double check

Ive got a new plate lined up, I hope it goes smoothly

Yeah I would call then your not doing anything you don't need to. And potentially not have docs sat in the post that you need access to 

They've been pretty good the times I've called them to sort out my private reg

New plate transfers are easy Mike 
You shouldn't have any probs, usually takes a week or so to get the docs back once the transfers done

[irish_ram]

Just rang and go through to them and was simple actually. I just need to send off the V5C with a new address filled out and then a covering letter exlaining it also need to be revereted back to it's original plate but they said can take up to 4 weeks so will see.

If it isn't TF51 MKE you need to have a look at yourself

If you can't get through to DVLA try one of those number plate selling sites they get plenty issues like your to sort
