I have just brought "J11 MHH" through RegTransfers.

I payed the cost of the plate itself, and £80 to the DVLA for the license. (+ £20 to have acrylic plates made)

*EDIT - but I'm not sure about plates on retention, sorry

If it is on a certificate you need to pay an £80 transfer fee to the car.
I think if you have a number on a car, you can put it on a certificate (ie retention) for £25. Then pay the transfer fee on when you have a car to put it on.

A certificate lasts 12m, if it runs out you can lose the number or pay a £25 fee to renew the certifcate. So make sure if you buy on a certificate that the number is still valid and the cert is in date. If not, you may lose it!

Im looking to buy it off some one who has it on retention,would i need to pay the £80 so i would be the registered legal owner of the plate?

How do I add or change the nominee details on my certificate of entitlement (V750)?

• <LI class=answered>Simply add the nominee details to section 1 of the certificate and sign (purchaser only) section 2. You should send your application to DVLA Personalised Registrations, SV2, Swansea, SA99 1DN together with a cheque made payable to DVLA for £25.

It costs around £105 to put a plate on retention which includes re-assignment fee to another vehicle. I must of done it about 5 times as i change my car like my underwear! lol. Really easy process. You should ask the guy selling how he put the plate on retention (im damn certain theres only one process and 1 fee) so hell either charge you something for taking it off retention or it will be included in the sale price!

As for your plate on now, it would be technically owned by the dvla after putting a private reg on unless you put yours on retention... ie, if you bought this plate and decided in a few months to take it off and sell it, the dvla could reassign you with a completely differet number (in my case it was the same plate) Hope this helps (and makes sense lol )
