Another secret public service from the DVLA, available online during office hours. Rolling Eyes

https://www.gov.uk/put-registration-number-vehicle

It looks like I only need the certificate number from the V778 retention from the seller, none of that papery-posty-sendy-chequey-waity-weekey medieval bollocks.

Too simple?

You know I suspect due to the fact that IT and government don't mix all this is though is an online interface which behind the scenes sends an email or a print out to somebody sitting at a desk. Probably why it is only open during office hours.

Heh it would probably be cheaper too as the 100 million IT mess ups could employ somebody into perpetuity.

Charitably, it might be a smart way of managing traffic so that it didn't get swamped on day one has happened with the VED and license services when they went online.

Charitably.

I ask because none of the VRM sellers are even mentioning it, they're still wanting cheques made out to the DVLA. Right, I'll record a memo about that on my dictaphone and send it to the girls in the typing pool.

I used it to take a plate off a car onto retention. easy as abc. fill in the form and pay by card and it's done in minutes. New v5 came within 48 hrs too. but it says to retain the original mot as they no longer send one with the new no on it.

Cheers, chap, but that's taking a VRM off a vehicle. They implemented that first. I'm looking at putting one on, which they've only just got around to doing online.

I'll be doing that tomorrow hopefully. was hoping to just directly swap from one car to the other but the v5 for the new car didn't arrive in time.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Awesome, thanks.

I rather suspect that it'll get spat off of a line-printer in the bowels of Swansea and put in the inbox of some troglodyte for actioning in 4-6 weeks, but I'd be delighted to hear otherwise.

done.... nice and easy and said on the screen that it's done instantly and to go fit the plates ASAP. just have to wait and see if the new v5 comes now. Thumbs Up from me so far.
