You should do the transfer on DVLA when listing the vehicle. Dont be one of those owners that does the transfer on the day of sale meaning the new owner cant tax the vehicle until DVLA have it on their system. In my case was 7 days. Shits annoying...
Current number plate im not sure as its not made available anywhere so may still belong to the car
Tell your insurance, youre swapping the plates or the insurance is invalid. Tell Gap or whoever it may concern in regards to the change. Check it has transferred on the DVLA Website. You will get sent a new V5 no idea why...waste of paper... First transfer is free then £80 everytime you remove it.
DVLA will collect £80 admin fee everytime after for removal of the private plate from a car
After 10 years depending on the rules youll have to reapply to retain. Im not sure if they charge for that too
