Take a number plate off a vehicle – Online Process
Take a number plate off a vehicle – Online Process
You can apply to take a private (cherished) number off a vehicle if you want to either:
- keep the number to use later
- assign it to another vehicle
The vehicle’s original registration number is usually reassigned to it automatically when you take off a private number. If your application is successful, you or KINTO will be sent a V778 retention document depending on which option you chose and KINTO will receive the new log book (V5C). You must have your V778 prior to KINTO disposing the vehicle – otherwise you’ll lose the right to use the private number.
Please note, the DVLA charge a standard rate of £80 to remove your private plate from a vehicle.
Retention online will show KINTO UK as the owner of the plate and no nominee option will be available, however, this is the quickest way to retain your plate. By using the online process, the plate will automatically be put into the log book owners name. Once we receive the certificate, we will send it to you so you will be able to put the private plate on to your next vehicle.
Alternatively, you can use the Retention Postal option.
Please fill in the relevant details below if you are happy for the private plate to be put in KINTO’s name and the certificate to be sent to you.
Once the request is received, we’ll get in touch with you about the £80 DVLA charge as well the KINTO admin fee, if applicable to your contract.
