CA11RBZ 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2019 Might sound confusing but dvla is shut and I could do with some help. Cars currently got a private plate on it. I’m buying another private reg to put onto the car. Do I have to apply to put my current private reg onto retention or will me putting the new reg on the car automatically put the old plate onto retention? Just looking to avoid the process of taking my old private reg off, getting it back onto my old plates then assigning my new plate. Any help would be appreciated TIA 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 63 Report post Posted July 14, 2019 If you want to keep the current private reg then you need to pay the fee to remove or and keep it on retention then when you have the logbook back with the normal reg apply the new private one. Depends of if the current private reg means anything to you, if not you can out the new one straight on but loose the current private regSent from my LYA-L29 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
