I've just left a deposit on a BMW 330ci and go to pick it up next weekend. I also need to get my private reg off my fiesta and put it on the new car.

My question is, if I go down to my local dvla office one day next week with all the required documents for both cars, do they sort it out there and then? I transferred plates a couple of years ago but did it all by post which ended up taking nearly 7 weeks which I thought was ridiculous, just want to know if I go down to the office and do it, can I actually transfer the plates over that same day?

Any info appreciated.

IIRC only traders can do that these days ?

The dvla quote us 7-10 working days and we are trade.

Oh okay I didn't know that, I've been told different things so thought I would check.

Mine took a couple of weeks via post

done this the other day, i got my retention back through in 4 days, all new docs and log books back at the same time. saying that new reg plates come out on thursday the 1st so might create a little delay.

yeah over the counter plate changes aren't done anymore to the public, did mine the other month and had it back in 2 days

Okay thanks guys, will it still be worth going to the office to get it processed quicker anyway you think?

I'll try next week anyway, just want it sorted quicker this time as I've got someone wanting my car so need to get the original plate back on.

Will update next week and let you know if it can still be done.
