Recently took a deposit for my car but need to get my private plate off before the sale goes ahead.

Been down the DVLA and paid the £105, now 3 weeks later (typical DVLA, they reckoned it would take a week) the log book has arrived. Only problem is the MOT and TAX obviously have the private plate on not the standard plates. How to I go about changing these and what documents do I need, where do I go etc?

Thanks.
 
did you pay the dvla direct? (ie over the counter)
they should have printed a new MOT and tax disc there and then, either that or send it out in the post but from my experience they give you the tax disc and mot over the counter
 
They should have reprinted your MOT and tax with the old plate. Give them a ring and find out where they are.
 
Thanks all.

Yeah the local office is Swansea, I went there and paid them direct. They said I would recieve all the docs within a week. 3 weeks later all I get is a logbook :rolleyes:

Thought it was the case that they should send out new TAX, MOT etc. Typical for them to balls it up, guy's been waiting 3 weeks to have the car off me now. I've rang the office and someone will ring me back "within 2 hours" !
 
Just heard back from them, they now send the log books out via a different delivery and the TAX and MOT by trusty Royal Mail - hence the TAX and MOT havent arrived yet!!

Should recieve them in the next few days, fingers crossed. Thanks for the help :)
