Simply Registrations is a private number plates dealer in Leeds. We are a private company completely independent from the DVLA.
THIS IS NOT THE DVLA WEBSITE.
The DVLA Local Office relocated from Leeds City Centre to the East side of Leeds in November 2009. Judging by the number of telephone calls we get on a weekly basis, it seems not everyone knows yet.

Hello Dave, I suggest you call the DVLA Vehicle Enquiries Helpline on 0300 790 6802. You should definitely have received the paperwork by now. Just in case you are not aware, this is not the actual DVLA website.
MORNING,I SENT V317 FORMS IN TO TRANSFER A CHERISHED NUMBER ONTO A RETENTION CERTIFICATE;THAT WAS APPROX 4 WEEKS SINCE,I HAVE HEARD NOTHING SINCE AND AS A PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS INTERESTED IN THE DONOR VEHICLE;WHAT SHOULD I DO.MANY THANKS DAVE TOLSON
Hello Mark, This could be a non-starter as you need to have the V5C (logbook) to be able to either transfer or retain a vehicle registration. I would suggest you contact your nearest DVLA Local Office for advice.
How to transfer plate (to retention) from written off car when log book is lost.Technically I no longer “own” the car. Is it best to transfer directly to another car or put it on retention?
Hello Nick, The transfer and the change of keeper can be done at the same time. You don’t have to go in person, your wife can take the documents to the DVLA Local Office on your behalf.
Hi, I am buying my mothers car and also want to put a private reg which I will have on a retention certificate on to the car. Can I do both the transfer of the car and the change of registration at the same time at the Leeds DVLA. Also, do we have to attend in person or can me wife take in the documents?
Thanks
Nick
Hello Lynne, Just to explain, your comment has been left on the Simply Registrations Blog. We are not the DVLA. This article is about the fact that the DVLA Leeds Office has relocated. If it was a new tax disc which was thrown away in error, you will need to apply for a duplicate. This website explains the procedure:

Hi
My partner is in hospital, and unfortunately after taking his post to the hospital for him to open his tax disc has been thrown away in error. What happens if I cannot find the log book? I have all the other documentation. Can I get a temporary one until he comes out of hospital? which could be another 2 weeks yet as I need the car to visit him
Hello Helen, I assume the private plate document you are referring to is either a V750 Certificate of Entitlement or a V778 Retention Document. If so, take it along with your vehicle documents (V5C Registration Certificate, MOT, copy of tax disc) to the DVLA Local Office where the transfer can be completed.
At Simply Registrations we handle the entire transfer on behalf of our clients. Everything is completed free of charge for anyone who buys a private number plate from us. Give me a call on 01924 823781 if you need any further advice.
have received private plate documents, what do i do to transfer the reg, can it be done at local dvla office. thanks
Thank you
I didn’t receive a reminder which makes me think there may be an issue, I’ll just have to see where it’s broken down!Think the previous owner may not have sent details on
Thanks again
Ross
Hello Ross, Just to clarify this is the Simply Registrations Blog. We are personalised number plate dealers near Leeds, not the DVLA. I am happy to advise you however in relation to your questions. You can tax your car at the DVLA Leeds Local Office if the vehicle is showing registered to you on the DVLA records. If you are the registered keeper of the vehicle you should have received a tax reminder through the post. This can be used rather than having to produce your V5C log book. The telephone number, address and opening times of the DVA Leeds Local Office are shown in the original post at the top of this page. Hope you manage to get everything sorted.
My tax disc is due today, I can’t find the log book (Post office very polite but can’t let me have disc without the log book, suggested I visit DVLA office)I have just been to the DVLA office (or where it used to be) with all other documents but you evidently moved some time ago. What can I do?!
Can I buy one directly from you? Where are you? What time are you open until?
Help please
Ross
Hello Simon, I would definitely recommend you go in person with your documents to the DVLA Local Office. Do you know you can now retain your private number plate at the same time as changing the keeper on your car? It is important to put your own name and address in the Grantee section on the DVLA form V317. Go along to the DVLA Local Office with all the documents once you have received full payment for the sale of your car. The staff will help you and explain exactly what you need to do.
Hello I have sold my car but it has private plate on it am I able to put it on retention at office instead of sending through royal mail because scared I might lose sale please help!
Hello Yahyaa, Unfortunately DVLA Local Offices do not open at weekends. You would have to visit during normal office hours.
Hi is the office open outside the office hours? Maybe even on the weekend as I work mon-fri 9am – 5pm.
Hi Sam, I suggest you take the green slip, MOT and insurance certificate to the DVLA Local Office in Colton, Leeds and explained what has happened.
Hi Ian, I think you may be referring to the actual DVLA Local Office in Leeds. The Leeds DVLA Office has now moved away from the city centre. The new address is shown in the blog post above or you can get directions from this page: http://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/contactus/localoffices/findnear/england/leeds_local_office.aspx
hello,i need advice about;iv just exchanged my car and done all the requirements,but i need to tax my new car,but iv put my name on the green slip,and now have decided to share the car with my mother as she will be driving it more than me,so i just need to erase my name on the green slip and put hers on it instead,is this possible or would i have to go to dvla n they give me a new green slip,so we can tax the car.
Help. Can you be reached from the train station? If so, how?
Hi Jillian, Sorry to hear about your handbag getting stolen. You can still tax your car if you go along to the DVLA Local Office. Take your certificate of motor insurance, MOT certificate (if the car is three years old or more) and the payment for your new tax disc. You may have to complete a form called a V62 which the staff can help you with. If you require a replacement V5C log-book there is a £25 charge. Hope this helps, James
my car needs taxing unfortunately I had my handbag stolen at the weekend with my renewal form in. I cannot find my log book. What can I do ?
Hello Alan, You don’t have to do anything about your disabled tax disc. It is something for the new owner to sort after they have bought your car.
Hello, I want to re-tax my car. I currently have disabled tax but I want to re-tax for sale of car. How do I do this & can I do it directly at my local DVLA tax office at Colton Leeds? Thank you, ALAN
