How To Buy D.V.L.A. Registrations Directly

Buying personalized number plates directly from the D.V.L.A. really is as quick, easy and secure as it gets.

I feel compelled to state this as I have noticed when buying number plates that there are a lot of number plate dealers out there who would have you believe that this simple process is a lot more difficult than it is (for obvious reasons). To start with, every piece of information you’re ever going to need to know about buying personalized number plates from the D.V.L.A. is available on their website on the Got a Question page.

Purchasing of your chosen number plate may seem daunting but its really nothing to worry about. The easiest way is to call the D.V.L.A. sales team, that way if you run into anything you re not sure about the sales person can advise you there and then. The contact phone number and details of opening hours are available on their website.

If you d prefer to purchase your chosen registration on line then firstly you ll need to open an account with the D.V.L.A. This process, although simple, is easier to explain while showing you the pages you will see as you go through it. An in depth, page by page, guide to the D.V.L.A. account registration and on line purchasing process can be found in the Help Index of Regfinder.net under the heading of Ordering a Number Plate from D.V.L.A.

No matter which way you choose to buy your personalized number plate, you will probably find the most frustrating part of the process is waiting for the V750 certificate of entitlement to be delivered before you can get your number plates made up. They do send this first class so you should receive it within a couple of days.

There will probably be an automotive shop near you that can make up the physical number plates, but if you prefer you can use one of the on line number plate makers. Personally I prefer getting number plates made on line. It is quick and hassle free and most of the on line companies have functions that allow you to design the number plates the way you want them. Just make sure you have your V750 entitlement certificate to hand when making inquiries. The company you choose will need to be sure that you are the owner of the registration mark. If you go to the Help Index of Regfinder.net and look under Buying & Fitting Number Plate Plastic to your Vehicle you will find a chart containing contact details of 20 or 30 on line number plate makers.

Before you fit the new number plates to your car you must assign the registration to the vehicle…..! Very important, this bit. If you don t then the registration is not legal and you could end up with a fine and points on your license.

To assign the registration you must fill out the appropriate parts of the V750 certificate and then send it or take it in person with the required documents to your nearest D.V.L.A. Local Office.

The sections of the certificate to be filled in will depend upon your particular circumstances. A step by step explanation of all these sections, as seen on the back of the V750 certificate, can be found on the same Ordering a Number Plate from D.V.L.A. page that I mentioned earlier and you will find details of your nearest D.V.L.A. Local Office in the Got a Question? pages of the D.V.L.A. website.

Once you have had confirmation of the registration transfer, congratulations, you can put the new number plates on your car and go out and show them off.
