Hi there

Am visiting https://www.gov.uk/keep-registration-number

I want to remove my private plate from the 911, do I just fill this in and pay the £80 and put my old plates back on?

A little worried that there is no mention about me putting my old plates back on the car, they just want to charge me £80 to retain my private plate for a year. If I go through and pay this £80 will my car just automatically revert back to its original plate and I should just put those plates back on the car straight away?

Someone may correct me but I believe they send you a new registration as the old one gets put back into circulation? My mum took her plates off her old car and they put some other random registration back on it and not the plates it came with.

So if I just go through the process with DVLA on the link in the OP everything will be automated, new plates will come in post etc?

If your original plate number is still available you will get it back or a generic one if it isn't.

You can put your old plates back on straight away if you get the same reg or you will have to get new plates made up if it isn't.

OK cool, so I am safe to just do this online right now and can still drive the car on the private plate until I get documentation in the post?
 
Made the payment at which point it told me my new registration which happens to be the original one which came with car. So if I still have plates I can put straight back on or wait until the new V5 comes to get some made. :)
