Buy
a Cherished Registration
Enquiries and purchases are treated strictly on a first
come/first served basis. You may pay by credit card,
paypal or cheque.
You have two options on purchase:
1. TRANSFER TO YOUR VEHICLE
COST? Add VAT + DVLA fee £80
eg Plate costing £100: add VAT £17.50 then
add DVLA fee £80. Total = £197.50
This option is only possible if you have your vehicle
documents ready to send me.
Once I’ve received payment, I send you a form
to sign and you send that back to me promptly along
with:
1. Original V5C Registration Document
2. Original MOT Certificate (if vehicle over 3 years
old)
3. Photocopy of your taxdisc
PLEASE ONLY USE ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY to guarantee
safe delivery of all docs.
2. RETENTION CERTIFICATE WITH YOUR NAME AS NOMINEE
COST? Add VAT + DVLA fee £105
eg Plate costing £100: add VAT £17.50 then
add DVLA fee £105. Total = £222.50
This option is preferred if you are not yet ready to
transfer to a vehicle. I will not need your vehicle
docs, only the name you wish to appear as nominee on
the certificate.
Most of the Cherished Registrations listed here are
stored on retention certificates. On receipt of your
payment, I send the certificate to DVLA to add your
name as nominee. When they return it (average 3 weeks),
I post you the certificate.
When you are ready to transfer it onto your vehicle,
you send it (or take it personally) to your LOCAL DVLA
office with your vehicle docs (V5C Reg Doc; MOT; photocopy
taxdisc). No further DVLA fees to pay.
A retention certificate is valid for 1 year; it costs £25
pa to renew.
(If you subsequently sell the cherished registration
still on retention, you need to inform me of the new
owner’s name and address).
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
DVLA take time to process all applications - they are
changing the identity of the vehicles concerned, so
a high degree of security is involved.
Summer is busier than winter. Processing time can be
anything from 2 weeks to 6 weeks.
We appreciate your patience while we are dealing with
DVLA for you.
