You can do it at your local DVLA office.
Just don't do what my retard copper (I only mention it as she should really know better) sister done, and park on the double yellows outside, have your car towed while you're inside, then have to walk half way across the city to the impound and pay £140 to get your car back out.
ROFL!!Just don't do what my retard copper (I only mention it as she should really know better) sister done, and park on the double yellows outside, have your car towed while you're inside, then have to walk half way across the city to the impound and pay £140 to get your car back out.
Can you do everything from purchasing the plate to getting all the docs sorted in the office?
Or do you have to buy the plate first, wait for the certificate and then go to DVLA office?
I think you will struggle. To get a plate on the car I have previously gone to the local licensing office with all the docs and have then been able to put the plate straight on the car.
If you do not have the plate already on a retention certificate it will take time for this to come through.

If he had the paperwork for the plates, you go to the DVLA, sign some crap, go back outside, and change your plates over.
OP, sorry, never read it properly, i thought you'd have all the paperwork for the plate to hand, and just wanted to get the reg changed over.

Shame you cant buy the reg at a DVLA office. Makes me wonder what people did before the internet was popular for this kind of thing :/

They haven't done one 'on the spot' for me recently. They used to. Now the local office just accept the paperwork and then post me the tax disc and paper to get the pâté made. Usually a couple of days from dropping off.
Crap...looks like I'm going to have to admit defeat then and just let the DVLA take their sweet time over it all.Magic919 said:

The last transfer I did was about 2 months ago, I took all the paperwork into DVLA Chelmsford and the plate went on immediately. They gave me the new tax disc but I had to wait a week for the new V5 to vome through. The last few transfers have all been immediate tbh.
