Good News for Motorists in Northern Ireland with Personalised Number Plates
Personalised number plate transfers are set to become much easier for motorists in Northern Ireland from July 2014. The proposed merger of the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) in Northern Ireland and the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) in Great Britain brings with it changes to the registration assignment rules.
As things stand it is not possible retain a cherished number, or to assign a personalised plate from a DVLA issued V778 retention document to a Northern Ireland registered vehicle. All that will change from 21st July 2014 as facilities currently available to motorists with vehicles registered at DVLA Swansea will be rolled out to motorists in Northern Ireland.
From Monday 14th July 2014 motorists in Northern Ireland should send applications for assignments, transfers and retentions to:
Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency
Swansea
SA99 1DP
