Iv had my eye on a private plate for a while, it's on the dvla website, if I buy it online how long is the process before I can actually have it on my car, never bought one before but remember my dads taking an forever, cheers in advance

10 days usually

If I remember the paperwork for purchase comes through pretty quick, maybe a week?

Takes up to 10 working days to put on car if you do by post.
Best way is to visit local DVLA office, queue up and you get it all done there & then

The local DVLA offices that are still open are providing the service as before.....at the moment.
Don't know how long for.

My DVLA will still do it on the spot.

Thanks for all the replies, this is my local office http://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/contactus/local...ffice.aspx hope I don't stand in a huge que to find they won't do it
