cast iron Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 yep as soon as it arrives you can do it online, but don't forget to retain the original reg if you need to keep it for later sale of the vehicle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no need to retain the original number unless it means something special to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Mine never had an original number it went straight on a cherished one. Can't recall how I did that though it was nearly 22 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednop1 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 You purchase the plate then they send you the retention cert which i think can take 7 ish days then you can put it on your motor straight away if you have the v5c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have I, and I have never seen an option to pay for a retention of the original number either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
