Hi there
My vehicle is dew in the next 8 week (coming off the scheme) i have a V750 , my dealer said he can put the private plate on the car for me. Do i need to physically send him the V750the document, or can i just email him a copy, as surely registering the vehicle plate with DVLA is all done online?
Thank in advance

I would wait tbh until you have the car, as then you have the original number to put back on when lease is up.
Hi Rico , am coming off the scheme , going private, it will be the first plate assigned to the car.
Many Thanks

The problem with that is when you come to sell the car you will loose your plate. Its best to have a standard plate at registration so you can put it back on should you sell.
Admittingly it will cost to transfer plates.
@kezo happy new year to , regarding the original number that does not matter
“if the private plate you purchase is going to be the first number plate registered to the vehicle, when you transfer it at a later date the DVLA would assign an age related number to your vehicle”
Above ingo from http://www.plates4less.co.uk
Am wanting to go with it from the start as i feel the dealer will do a good job , plus i don’t have to buy new plates and pay for them to be put on , and no additional form filling 🙂
Not sure why my previous post went into moderation. My blurb basically said No reason not to lrt the dealer do it. I would imagine they would want the original form and you keepy a photocopy for your records. Maybe worth ringing the dealer and see 🙂

My bad sorry 🙂 the last time I had a private plate was around 20yrs ago!
In light of this I see no reason why the dealer shouldn’t register it and back to your original question – you could ask the dealer if a photocopy would do. If not there no harm sending the original form but, take a photocopy for your records 🙂 I think the dealer will require the original!
https://www.personalisedvehicleregistration.service.gov.uk/assign/vehicle-lookup thats as easy as it is now bud… just need to get the v5 referance from the dealer 24 hours after picking car up.
eek I have been registered for a few years and I am moderated now lol.
So its not only me then ?

no form filling, once you have the v5 (you can also ask the dealer to give you the v5 referance, you go on govt site, put in reg going on the car, new car v5 ref and your ref code on the retention cert. is as easy as that it does not even take 5 mins and you have 3 days from doing it to change.
I had my private plate on my scheme car and removed it before I got my new car (off the scheme) I already had the orginal plates to put on it, as they had a problem putting it on at the beginning of the lease, long story.
I sent the dealer a scan of the V778 retention document/ in your case the v750 and then took the original on the day of collection and I got the new car with my private plate on.
What I didn’t do was contact dwp soon enough to get my road tax exemption certificate and they didn’t send it out after i first contacted them and had to wait to see if it came but it didn’t so they sent out another. So I had to pay for a full years road tax and then goto the P.O to have the class changed when cert came and got refunded the full 11 months left. So If you have that certificate the dealer can also tax it a disabled.
Thanks for everyone’s input , i assume the “road tax exemption certificate” is the pip award letter ?

Many thanks @kezo when I rang them and asked for the above , they sent me “Your statement of Entitlement” letter, assume it’s the same thing as linked above?
