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.
