Number Plate Registration - Personalised Plate Registration

If you don’t own a vehicle but would like to buy a personal number plate you can still carry out a personalised plate registration with the DVLA. You will get sent a certificate of entitlement (V750) which you will need to keep safe until you are ready to add the registration plate to your vehicle. You will have until the expiry date on your V750 form to put the personalised plate on a car. If you still not ready when you reach the expiry date and would like to renew your personalised plate registration, you can extend the entitlement period for 12 months for around £25.

If you have previously carried out a personalised plate registration for your current vehicle and would like to transfer the number plate registration to a new vehicle, you can complete a V317 form and pay a sum of £80 to the DVLA to transfer the plate to your new vehicle. If on the other hand you decide to sell your vehicle but would like to keep your personalised plate registration, you need to complete a V778/1 which allows you to retain the number plate for a fee of £105 payable to the DVLA.
