Electric vehicle being charged

It is hard to escape the climate change issue. The subject constantly dominates headlines around the world - and with good reason.

DVLA Auction July 2023

DVLA Auction July 2023

DVLA's July auction was a timed online event that ran from Wednesday 26th July to Tuesday 1st August 2023. The auctions are always interesting but the July sale was pretty exceptional, as you'll see.

New car purchases: head vs heart?

Man making a choice between cars

We can't all be Elon Musk. Some would say that's a good thing, but few would deny that a bit of a financial buffer to help us deal with the spiralling cost of living would be very welcome. Energy is the big headache: as its cost increases, it drives up the price of most other essentials; everything gets more expensive to make and to transport.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed is arguably one of the most prestigious motoring events in the UK. We report on the 30th anniversary event including the number plate auction and snap a few of the many notable cars on display.

The role of DVLA

Car registrations and number plates, including personalised number plates, in the UK, are the responsibility of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, usually known as the DVLA. It issues new registrations twice a year and also maintains the central database that records details of all vehicles licensed to drive on UK roads, along with their keeper and registration information.

Regtransfers works closely with DVLA to complete registration transfers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Regtransfers is a DVLA-registered supplier of personal car registrations and number plates and is listed on the DVLA Registrations website. All number plates supplied by Regtransfers comply with DVLA's prescribed standards and regulations.

DVLA administers all UK registration transfers and issues updated registration documents when the registration number of a car is changed, or when a registration is removed from a vehicle and placed on a retention document in accordance with the DVLA Retention Scheme.

DVLA is a registered trade mark of the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency. Regtransfers is not affiliated with the DVLA or DVLA Personalised Registrations. Regtransfers is a recognised reseller of unissued Government stock.

Number plate regulations

When a car is on the road, it is an offence to display number plates bearing any number other than the vehicle's officially recorded registration number. If you purchase a private registration, learn how to transfer private plates before displaying the new number.

All registration number plates displayed on UK vehicles must comply with the official number plate regulations. DVLA oversees enforcement of number plates display regulations and maintains a register of approved manufacturers and retailers of vehicle number plates.

Regtransfers is not part of, and is not formally affiliated with DVLA.
