Private plate to go on retention

[James Bush 95]

I don't normally get involved with plate transfers and leave it up to the customer to sort and always ask them to put it on retention as you get the V5 back quicker but I've an elderly couple who I've agreed to do it for so has anybody completed one online yet, apparently it can be done, or do you stick to old fashion post?

I've got there part exchange underwritten but they won't collect it until the V5 is in hand so I guess I'm asking which is the quickest method? Thanks

Hi,

I have done a couple of retentions online for customers. It's easy and it gives you the registration that the car will go back on to straight away so you can get plates made up. The customers have had the new V5s within just a few days.
