HomeMotoring UKEven the Sunday Times gives the wrong advice! Jayne Henry April 15, 2011 Motoring UK, Personalised Number Plates Anyone read the advice given by the Car Clinic in Last week’s Sunday Times? Well when our Director Des was enjoying his lunch, he decided to have a look at his papers. As he flicked through the pages he came across the Car Clinic, in the In Gear Section, where a member of the public had asked how to transfer his registration. Luckily for Des he wasn’t eating at the time and he may have chocked on the reply: “First fill in form V317 to transfer the numberplate from your old car to the new one, then two V62 forms to apply for the new log books for both cars with their new registration numbers. Send the forms and £80 transfer fee to your Local DVLA Office along with MOT Certificates” The above reply which was featured in last week’s Sunday Times was NOT correct, I repeat NOT correct. The advice that should have been given is: Either bring OR Post the following documents to your Local DVLA Office: V317 Transfer Form completed and signed in Section 2 and Section 3 V5C – Vehicle Registrations Certificate for the Donor vehicle MOT Certificate – MOT Certificate (if vehicle is over 3 years old) for the Donor vehicle Photocopy of Road Tax Disc for the Donor vehicle V5C – Vehicle Registrations Certificate for the Receiving vehicle MOT Certificate – MOT Certificate (if vehicle is over 3 years old) for the Receiving vehicle Photocopy of Road Tax Disc for the Receiving vehicle Cheque for £80 made payable to DOT as payment of the Transfer Fee The Donor vehicle is the vehicle that holds the registration number you would like transferred. The Receiving vehicle is the vehicle that you would like the registration transferred to. If you would like any further information please contact speedyreg. Did you spot any other mistakes in last week s Sunday Times?
