I own 2 vehicles and want to transfer a plate between them. So far I have used the online service to put the plate onto Retention and paid the £80 retention fee.

I am struggling now to put it onto vehicle B, can anyone advise what I need to do? From following the guides online it says I should receive a Certificate of Entitlement, but 10 days after putting the plate on retention nothing has arrived by post or by email. When I call the Cherished Transfers department at DVLA, it says they are closed due to Covid

Any ideas? :weary_face: or am I being a numpty? lol

Once it was completed online did you not receive a long number which can be used instantly to assign it online again to another vehicle?

I know DVA are processing no paper applications at the minute. One mate is waiting almost 3 months on a paper application for cherished transfer and I’ve been waiting almost the same for a V5 for a car I purchased.

It’s a bit annoying but what can we do?

As above. You should have got a long number starting or ending with the reg. That can be used to put it on. if you selected email confirmation, you’ll have it there also plus a pdf

I had the V5 for the M3 in 4 days. Wonder why some go through quicker? Maybe because the dealership done it online?

Online works in about 3-4 days, I’ve received about 2-3 books that way in the past month, however one book was lost and I had to apply for a new book. Turns out they’re not opening any paper applications so it’s lying in a pile in Swansea and f*ck knows when it’ll be looked at.

Got the retention document today by post, so hopefully I’ll be able to transfer it online using that.
