How long are DVLA taking - Personalised Plates?

[Ewazix]

Has anybody had recent experience of transferring or retaining a personalised plate when selling their car please, how long are DVLA taking to get the new log book/MOT back to you?

Thanks in advance

One going through right now. It’s been 3 weeks so far and nothing yet.

Thanks, I guessed it wasn't going to be quick and the lack of a reg' document makes selling tricky

I bought an X3 for Mrs Boris a month or so ago. Initial log book came back in exactly two weeks, I then put a newly purchased private plate on it and the log book with the new number came back in about 3 days !

Done one few weeks ago,took around 2 weeks to turn around log book so I could put plate on.

My wife has had her new car three weeks and still nothing from DVLA about the transfer of her plate off her old car

This is starting to sound like a lottery, thanks for the info and I hope you get a result soon.

A quick update, hats off to DVLA I did the plate swap on-line and the new log book arrived 4 days later!

I had a similarly good experience at the start of June when I put a different plate on my MX-5. I also used the online service.

Did one a couple of weeks ago (retention on a van being sold) was surprised to the the cert and new v5 back in less than a week.
