How much do they cost to transfer from one car to another, what department do you phone at DVLA or can you do this on the net

Also how long does it take to process

Cheers for any advice/info

Steve

 

they cost around Ł85 to transfer to another car, Ł105 to retain

takes around 3 weeks (can vary....alot)

you can do it with a form through the post, dunno if you can do it on the net...i doubt it

phone DVLA 0870 240 0010

 

Cheers for this

 

Its Ł80 to transfer, I've just done it. Need form V317 from your local DVLA office. Mine has taken a lot longer than 3 weeks, cos they wanted to inspect my donor car.

 

Did mine a couple of months ago. Used the form V317, took into local DVLA office. Got the tax disc and MoT back practically by return of post but had to wait 4 or 5 weeks for the V5 to be returned by Swansea.

 

cheers so will I have to wait 3 - 5 weeks before I can sell my old car on that has the private reg on as Im picking up my new car on wednesday and want to transfer the reg onto it asap so I can sell my car

 

no, if you go to a local DVLA office as soon as they process your documents onto the system you can put the old reg back on the car.

 

Cheers for this

 

they no longer do a over the counter service.it still take a few weeks
they used to do it there and then but it was taking too long, so they binned the idea and now they will just let you do the paperwork but wont be able to transfer the reg til the documents come through the post or you go to the DVLA office to collect them

 

Thats just bloody typical now I want to use that service

 

Ł80 and took a week - and I transferred two.

 

Hope mine only takes a week, but knowing my luck it will be delayed for 6 months

I need to pick up my new car first before I can start this process dont I

 

Funny cause I just did mine over the counter about a month ago. Maybe different DVLA offices have different lead times?

 

they are cunts - seemy other thread

 

Hope its that easy for me then

Just seen it now mate hope you get sorted ok.

 

Just tried phoning DVLA and took about friggin 10mins to go through all the press 1 or press 2 bla bla bla

Got to the end for the right dept and it said we are sorry all our people are busy at the moment and it could take about 5 - 10 mins min so try again later tw@ts

 

None of them do over the counter-same day reg transfers now,not sure when they stopped.

Just transfered one,took all docs/paperwork to local office,received updated Mot's/tax discs after 16 days

So plates can now go on,but no log books yet,says can take upto 8 weeks for those to come

 

Personally I wouldn't buy a car without a log book, but I managed to sell my 206 gti without one a few years back after changing the plate.

 

i first noticed they stopped when i went to the Exeter office back in 2005 i think it was, but its been the same at bristol for a while too .
like i said they were complaining it was taking too long to serve customers as there were tons of cherished transfers a day.
i must admit every DVLA office ive been too has always been really long waits even when they done the over the counter service .

 

Yeah they were slow,best not to go near the end of month when people are fooking about taxing cars

Was still better to wait around for a couple of hours and get plate done the same day,rather than have your Mrs. giving you earache when the postman doesn't bring it!!!!

 

Ive ordered the pack and still waiting for that to come before I can even start the process

 

My post office that I get my tax from doesnt do this over the counter worth a try

I have now applied twice for the fecking pack/form off DVLA web site that I need to fill out for this to start the process going so I can sell my frigging car

 

Bristol still do it( or did in jan) just had to book appointment a few days in advance where as you used to be able to turn up and wait and walk out that day all done..

 

The problem is that the places that may still do it are fecking miles away from me

 

you need to find your local dvla office, not post office. each region has one. then phone and make an appointment

 

Will find this out then
