Just came across this article on the BBC website, looks like there are plans to shut all of the DVLA's regional offices and centralise services in Swansea. I know a number of offices were reduced a few years back, and can see how further savings / cuts may be needed: BBC News - DVLA...

Visited the DVLA in Sheffield on the 21st of November (One week ago) to retain my private plate and within two days I received my new MOT & tax disc and have today received the V5 with the original plate! It normally takes about 3 weeks in my experience, so they must either be getting better...

Hi, Anyone registered to bid on the dvla auction this week. I am after a plate.

Alan Clarke told to surrender 'obscene' number plate after DVLA sold it to him | Mail Online Make your mind up DVLA?

Any idea on the average time for a refund? It used to be about a fortnight. I'm waiting 8 weeks for one at the moment. Normal?

I run a second car (which is currently garaged and not in use). I just realised my tax should be up for renewal (end of November) but I had not received any reminders. I just checked the tax disc on the car - yup expired 30/11/10 so thought I'd better SORN or tax it to avoid the automatic fine...

Anyone ever requested that a particular registration number be included in a future auction? If so, do they contact you to let you know before they auction it?

Hello Just had the retention certificate back off the A class we had and also have part of the V5 off the new to us car we bought (Sections 10 and 11). Question please..... Can I take the retention certificate and this part of V5 to transfer plate onto new to us car. Or do I need to...

Hi All, Some advice if you will please: Today I received a letter from the DVLA saying that I failed to notify disposal of a vehicle and therefore have to pay a fine. However, the registration mark on the letter isn't one I recognise. The letter states that the transfer took place on...

today i got a letter from some debt collectors advising me to pay an £80 'out of court' settlement as i hadn't taxed a vehicle i sold over a year ago. the letter states as i'm the registered keeper i'm liable, the thing is i sent the appropriate paperwork to the dvla the day after i sold the...

The subject of non functioning public services is always guaranteed to make my blood pressure rise but today it's hit new heights because two of our money grabbing non performing "services" are involved, DVLA and our old friends The Post Office. I am not totally blameless in this in so far as I...

My dad has put a deposit down on a very nice V70 D5 SE LUX. It has just had a private plate taken off and it's original plate put back on. It was also registered for disabled tax(or something ) When i did an online HPI check it said neither they or DVLA had any records of the registration...

I've tried looking on DVLA, newreg etc but most of their searches only go up to 20 for the first numbers, and ideally I want something like C43 XXX or C430 XXX (C430 OMF, for instance, or C430 OOO). I won't know until I see it. C43 AMG is taken, apparently - who knew! :D Any ideas? A broker...

I changed my car recently, and discovered that when a taxed car is traded in the dealer can no longer reclaim the tax. The keeper must do it. So I got the relevant form 14, filled it in, taped the old tax disk to it and sent it off. At the same time, I also filled in the section of the V5C...

Just had the shock of my life need to transfer SWMBO private plate onto the new car and as usual the transfer form is as clear as mud, so rather than screw up the application I thought I would ring the DVLA for clarification, expecting the worst based on my last experience of them I dialled with...

I need some advice regarding cherished plate transfers. As we are in the process of selling the W168, I took the V5 and MoT to my local DVLA office for transferring the plate to the W169. I was told documents would follow in 7 working days. I found a buyer for the car on Sunday (deposit...

My W210 is sometimes used during the course of my work. The registered keeper is RINGWAY ******. Recently, when re-insuring the car I noticed the details on the V5 document are incorrect. I know, I should have picked up on this earlier.. The DVLA in their infinate wisdom have the car as...

Anybody remembers the link for the MOT check page from DVLA? It was posted here a while back but can't seem to trace the post.

As a fan of personalised plates (4 in our house) I like to browse the DVLA auction catalogue which can be downloaded here https://www.smaleeds.co.uk/dvla/secure/acrobat.asp?action=download Is it me or are there some real bargains if you are inlcined to take an age related plate off (and I...
