Comment on Tracing the Owner of a Vehicle using a Registration Number by James

Hi Raz, I would get in touch with the guy who bought the car from you as that is who your agreement is with. Obviously he could also tell you who he sold the car to. Depending on the value of the personalised plate, it may be a good idea to get a solicitor involved.

Great. Cars really look good and cooler when having a personalised plate. Good investment as we all know that price increase as time goes by.

Hi, in good faith I sold my beloved car with cherished number plate which by mistake I forgot to take off before selling but did mention in the signed sale agreement that the plate will be returned back to me in a few days.

However, the owner has not returned the private registration and he has sold the car and plate on…

Any idea how I can retrieve the details of the current owner who has the private plate?

Hi Ad, You need to have the V750 Certificate of Entitlement in order to complete the transfer. If you have only just bought your new personalised registration then you may not yet have the certificate. The transfer can be completed the same day in most situations. Speak to the dealer to see if they will handle it for you or alternatively read this guide on how to assign your personalised registration.

Hi Dave, Providing the certificate is in date and is signed in both sections 1 & 6 you should be okay. Obviously the buyer would have to be comfortable with the situation as he/she is the one taking the risk.

Just bought a reg from DVLA online. I am due to pick up a used car from the dealer in a couple of days. Can I get the new reg on the car by the time I pick it up?

If yes, how do I do it???

Hey James, great site, nice one.

Quick question, I bought a number plate from a dealer, and I haven’t assigned it to a vehicle, as such the dealer is the purchaser and I am the current nominee. I now want to sell the plate on. Am I able to do this and just change the nominee details, or do I need to assign the plate to my own vehicle and take it off again?
Cheers, Dave

Hi, i really need your help/advice – i bought a number plate from a dealer for £1500 around 3 years ago but have never assigned it to a car because my current car is too old for the plate, so every year i have been sending it back to the dealer and paying £25 to get the certificate v750 extended for a year. i am just the nominee. however last year when i sent it, the chq was cashed in but i never received the certificate v750 back!! the company phone number is disconnected and i dont know how i can trace anyone to confirm its still in my name and on top of that i need to extend it for another year now as its due for renewal in march! how do i go about doing this? the company was called First Original in Coventry and the owner was a Mr Chapman
