scenario:

if i own a private plate and have just bought a new car..

what do i need to do to tfr this from my old car to my new car


what will it cost


cheers guys

Dave

 

will cost ya £80!

both cars need tax & mot i believe!

thenu fill out some forms & go to your local dvla office!

or just go to your local office & they will give u the forms to fill out there as i dont know the numbers!

u will need both log books, mot certf & tax discs!

 

What bristol bhoy said!!!

 

as above but the car yransfering can also have the car tax expired within 6months too

pop to ya local office and they do it there and then

 

Except at the end of the month, when you have to leave it with them and they'll post it back to you.

The form you fill out asks for the expiry date and seriel number of the doner vehicle tax disk, you wont need to take the actual disk with you, they will give you a SAE to send it back to them once they've issued you the replacement disk in the replacement reg number.

Bare in mind they will take both log books off you and ask swansea to issue you new ones (just incase you are selling the doner vehicle) they will let you keep the new keeper parts tho.

 

also if ya sell the car before ya transfer the plate the new owner gets the rights to the plate ( how fooked up is that )

 

Oops yep thats right, forgot to mention that, ive taken plates off customers and given them away on here before

 

thank you Lewis, ginge and clare ..

oh and kev!

 

No worries, only done it yesterday, thats why i can remember!!

 

dont u need to have both cars insured?

 

they dont ask to see insurance details!

 

Done this myself yesterday Dave, easy process.

The hard bit is queing up with the worlds skank to get it done

 

sooooo fooking true, its like being in a joib centre

i went to stanmore and fook me there some scaby people about

vehile dont need to be insured unless ya driving it to the local office

 

The receiving vehicle WILL need to be insured if you are taxing it at the same time.

 

clare thats just cause its getting tax, nothing to do with the plate

it will also need a engine if you intend to actually drive the vehicle aswell

try not to confuse people, if the vehicle already has tax and MOT then it can recive a personal plate

if the reciving vehicle does not have tax you will have to apply for the tax aswell meaning sending ya insurance off at the same time

 

Ginge, I dont see how im confusing him, someone above said he doesnt need insurance, im simply saving him a wasted journey as if he turns up at the VRO and the receiving car needs taxing, and he hasnt taken his certificate then they wont do the transfer

 

clare it was stated he needs tax though

 

Eh? So if he needs tax then he'll need insurance

Im only trying to help Ginge as I happen to do Cherished Transfers as part of my job so think I am qualified to give correct replies on the subject

 

clare i agree ya are qualified, ive been doing private plate stuff since i got my first at 17

just that sentance confused me a tiny bit hence why i elaborated

now get back to making the tea

 

ok thanks, so as long as both cars are mot and taxed it will be fine to transfer a plate over,

was just asking about insurance as im not willing to pay two insuarnce policys to get a plate transfered lol,

thanks
