Transferring a private plate from a newly sorn vehicle

[Broccers]

I have put one of my cars as SORN online in the last week and am told I wont have any documents for upto 4 weeks. I'm looking to put the pplate from that car on another - can I use a printed copy email confirmation from the dvla with a v317 (transfer doc) with both log books and the currently taxed target vehicle's disk at my local dvla?


Looking to save an hour queuing to find out this isn't possible before I go.

Thanks in advance.

Bump - anyone?

maybe ask the dvla?

I thought a car had to be taxed to take the plate off?

To avoid queing though, Theres a dvla telephone number to ring on their website and they should be able to confirm over the phone.
