Yes, when you assign a private number plate to your car, it is essential to understand how this transformation impacts your road tax, MOT, and crucial car documents.
Do you get a new log book when changing number plate?
Your V5C Registration Document (also known as the log book) has the existing registration number printed on it. When the car has been re-registered under your new private number plate by the DVLA, you will receive replacement V5C Registration Document.
You won't receive a new MOT Certificate as the system is automatically updated by the DVLA, you simply take your vehicle for its MOT test as usual.
The road tax you currently have on your vehicle will remain the same, as again the DVLA's systems are updated automatically and as we know the tax discs have not been issued since October 1st, 2014.
Additionally, remember to inform your insurance company about the registration number change. They will update their records and issue a revised Policy Schedule accordingly.
How do I get my car registration number changed?
To transfer a private number plate to your car, you will need your V5 (log book) and the certificate that holds your private number plate, these details then need to be submitted to the DVLA (either online which is the quickest option or by post). Once they have updated the DVLA system they will let you know when it's done, you will then receive a replacement V5 (log book) displaying your private number plate on that vehicle.
By navigating these steps, you'll seamlessly manage the transition when changing your car's number plate, ensuring compliance with DVLA regulations and keeping your documentation up-to-date.
