The
Department for Transport through the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle licensing Agency)releases a new sequence of registration
marks for sale to the public twice each year, in advance
of the new car registration dates (which are scheduled
to happen on the 1st March and 1st of September) eg. 07 registrations for cars registered after 1st March 2007
and 57 registrations for cars registered after 1st September
2007.
The public are invited to purchase the rights to these
registration marks approximately 3 months in advance,
which can then be transferred later, ONLY
to new vehicles registered after these new car registration
dates.
Occasionally there will also be issues of previously
unreleased marks eg E prefix plates
followed by indexes 1-20 in October
2004.
Once the release date has been confirmed such registrations
will be listed on our website together with prices.
You may then place your offer to acquire a registration
mark through our site or over the telephone in the normal
way. On the release date, your offer will be made to
the Secretary of State for Transport for consideration,
on a first come, first served basis.
The Secretary of State for Transport is not
obliged to accept any particular offer and so we advise
you to consider giving us your second and third choices
in the numbering sequence, as alternatives acceptable
to you. The Secretary of State for transport always
reserves the right to alter the price of any previously-
unissued registration mark and/or withdraw it from sale
at any time.
In most cases your offer will be accepted and we shall
begin the transfer procedure for you.
In the unlikely event that your offer is not accepted
for any reason and there are no alternative registration
marks within your budget suitable to you, then you will
receive a full refund of any monies lodged with us,
minus any payment card processing fees, which unfortunately
are non-refundable to us by our bank.
NB : Whilst our web ordering system and confirmation
e-mails do presently state that transfer works will
be undertaken immediately, obviously we cannot arrange
for any certificates of entitlement to be issued BEFORE
THE ACTUAL REGISTRATION MARK RELEASE DATE and cannot
transfer these new marks BEFORE THE FIRST REGISTRATION
DATES FOR THE NEW VEHICLES YOU MAY HAVE ORDERED (eg
1st March/1st September).
