Dave Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I have a personal registration that has not been on a vehicle for about six months.. the garage has warned me that if i don't use it within a year , then i will lose it? Is that right, and is there anything i can do about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapsuds Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 no if it is on retention and fuly paid, it is yours. You have to pay the retnetion fee every year though which is £25 per annum IIRC.... Stick it on your bedroom wall for £25 a year over 50 years if you like!!! As long as you pay them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chav Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 you can renew a retention certificate (lasts for another 12 months) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexc Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I once had a plate on retention for 3 years, as long as you pay the annual fee you can do what you like with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 There should be some info on the DVLA web site about this. Try Here where there's an annoying voice (so volume down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewNiceMrMe Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Yup, I'm in exactly the same boat. I have one on retention that I had on my last M3 and never transferred it to the 6 because of various reasons including the DVLA being as fecking useless as ever. I have to transfer it before August (onto the car) or pay the retainer. I've had it a good few years now and I'll probably put it on the 6 rather than part with the money again.

simkna Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm thinking about buying a plate - how long does the V750 last? Si. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
360boy Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 As other posters have said, that number is yours for as long as you keep paying the £25 annual renewal fee. <font color="blue"> </font> If you do not renew it each year, you will lose the number. We have some numbers in stock, that we have had on certificates since 1992. We just renew them each year at £25 a shot. It saves having to buy unwanted vehicles to store them on.
