Important information about a private number plate

There is one main rule to understand when buying a private number plate. You can not make your car appear younger than it actually is. Some registrations we advertise are dateless and can go on any age vehicle, if you are unsure please contact us for free expert advice. See our Plate Guide Lines


Registration transfer

Our experienced team at RegHunter are happy to take care of all registration transfer paperwork with the DVLA. All you need to do is send us your V5 to enable us to transfer the private number plate onto the chosen vehicle, in most instances within 7 days.

Number plate design

DVLA have strict regulatations regarding fonts and spacings on your number plate. Size, colour, reflectivity and decoration must also conform to their strict guide lines. We supply a set of number plates from £25 including delivered.

  • I Have Had Plates Made Up, But Have Been Informed That The Transfer Is No Longer Going Ahead. Will You Compensate Me?

    No, as stated in all our paperwork, we do not offer compensation. You should not have any plates made until after you have received your new V5 log book from the DVLA showing the new registration.

  • How Long Will My Transfer Take?

    On average, registration transfers take two to three weeks. But our team at RegHunters endeavours to ensure every transfer is completed as quickly as possible. However, we will need you to help us, we can not start the process until we have received all of the required documents. Once all documents are received and passed over to DOT, your plate transfer should run as smoothly as possible.

  • If The Recipient Already Has A Mark, Can I Transfer Both At The Same Time?

    Yes, this is called a double transfer. It poses no problem for the team at RegHunter, but you shall need to immediately supply all documents of the third vehicle involved. An extra cheque of £80 payable to the Department of Transport is required.

    If no third vehicle is involved, then the mark can be retained on a Department of Transport retention certificate in accordance with governing regulations. The current fee for this is £80.

  • Is It Possible To Transfer A Mark To A Vehicle With A “Q” Mark?

    Under current law, it is not possible to transfer private number plates to ‘Q Plate” cars.

  • What Will Happen To My Current Registration Plate?

    When purchasing a personalised registration plate, once this is transferred to your vehicle and all documentation is complete from the DVLA your current registration becomes void. If you want to keep your present registration, you will have to pay the Department For Transport fee to retain it.

    We have found when you eventually remove your new registration from your car, for example, if you are selling your car, the old registration, in most cases, is reissued to the car.
