Private plates
 
Hi all,

I am thinking about getting some private plates for my dad and I'm just wondering why we have to go through a 3rd party to get the plates, I have checked to make sure that they are available and that they have never been used before so why can't I just put that registration on retention with the DVLA without paying a silly amount of money to a company for a plate that currently does not exist.
Any thought would be appreciated.

Al.

Just go on the DVLA site and if the plates that you want are listed on there then buy direct from DVLA.

You do not need to use a 3rd party.:teeth_smile:

The third party will only buy it from DVLA and charge you more than if you bought it direct from DVLA.

I have 2 private plates both bought through the DVLA. Go direct, 3rd party places simply charge more.

Private plates
 
Plates bought direct from dvla include first assignment fee of £80
Some 3rd party sellers bump up price stealthy by adding the £80 again
No brainer dvla for me tho prob only get choice of plates that have never been issued and only standard issue style

If you can get it from DVLA do, my dad didn’t understand and ended up paying a lot more for the same plate we picked for my mum (3rd party add 20% vat too) avoid the likes of regtransfers if possible.

Same reg advertised at same price on different website except it was plus fees and vat...
