Private registraion regestering.

anyone know if you can do this online or does it have to be done at the dvla office at gosforth? walked in the dvla office on wednesday and thought hell no! due to the cue out the doorway lol had to have been 50-60 people there and there not open on saturdays! typical lol

Even when theres a lot of people in, it usually doesnt take too long to get sorted and get out. Think you do have to sort it at local office currently though as youve gotta swap tax discs etc.

yeah, just wasnt sure about the tax disc as you can do that online would have thought it would have been the same process

Im not 100% on it mate but would have thought it would be the case. Theyve got people going round the waiting room that sort you out with all the forms you need and tell you what to fill in so when people finally get seen to at the counter, everything is ready and gets processed quicker. Queue was out the door when i went to put my plate on and i was walking out the place after about 25mins or so.

Yeah its got to b done at the dvla office! Its a proper fook on lol
Best time to go normally is first thing on a morning

+1 I've had to it several times and it's an arse ache, make 100% sure you have all the documentation you need, the eagle eyed fookers will spot anything missing a mile off

Tax disc, v5, mot and private reg document is all you need i think.

This is from the Dvla website and says you can do it by post.

You will need to:

complete a V317 ‘application to transfer or retain a vehicle registration number’ - if the number is being transferred to someone else’s vehicle, then both registered keepers must complete the application
enclose the £80 transfer fee
Also enclose for both vehicles:

the registration certificate or the new keeper supplement with a completed V62 ‘application for a vehicle registration certificate V5C'
a test certificate – needed for cars and motorcycles over three years old, and heavy goods vehicles over one year old
If the new keepers supplement has been stamped by a DVLA local office you’ll need to complete a V62 ‘application for a vehicle registration certificate V5C' before you can apply.

If either vehicle needs taxing, enclose:

a completed V10 ‘application for a tax disc’ or the V11 reminder
a certificate of insurance or valid cover for the vehicle
the payment of vehicle tax
Send the completed application to your nearest DVLA local office.

i did mine by post, it was all sorted within a week much easier and stress free

i did mine by post and @ the office,defo go first thing fella

you dont need the old tax disc


But go in the middle of the month!!! start and end ever one taxing the cars

i know its off topic ..

regarding plates .. it seems isf you tamper with a private plate ie custom plate etc ...

top and bottom of it ..if its not std size plate you WILL loose the registration no.and you wont get your money back

so a 2grand reg on illegal sized plate = fine 6 points loss of registration and no refund ..
this came into effect from 1st of this mnth
