The DVLA ( Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency ) is located in Swansea, South Wales. Amongst other duties, they maintain a list of all drivers and all registered vehicles and number plates within mainland Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is handled seperately by the DVLNI (Driver and Vehicle Licencing Northern Ireland). When transferring a registration from one vehicle (or a certificate) to another vehicle, there is a transfer fee to pay. This covers the administrative time for the DVLA (or DVLNI) to handle the paperwork. We include this transfer fee as part of your total purchase price so once purchased from us, you don't need to pay anything more to get it onto your vehicle.

In order to transfer vehicle registrations, the paperwork has to be either posted or taken to one of the local DVLA offices around the UK. The list of the current offices is shown below, along with their contact phone number. The DVLA office will process the paperwork for you there and then if you take it in to them and often it is a next day turnaround if you post it in to them.
