Question 1

How long does a plate transfer take?

Accepted Answer

Transfers are typically completed 2 to 4 weeks after the DVLA processes the application. Once you purchase a plate we buy the registration from the DVLA on your behalf and handle all the paperwork. You’ll receive your V750 certificate of entitlement, or an updated V5C (logbook) if the plate is assigned to your vehicle.

Question 2

Can I return a plate?

Accepted Answer

You have a 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. That right is waived only when you expressly ask us at checkout to start the DVLA purchase straight away. Once the DVLA application has been submitted the registration cannot be returned and no refund is possible. If we cannot secure the registration for any reason you receive a full refund.

Question 3

Do you buy plates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Either we buy your plate outright for a firm price, or we list it for you and take 15% commission only when it sells. The Sell page gives you an instant estimate first.

Question 4

Is MONIKR affiliated with the DVLA?

Accepted Answer

MONIKR is a DVLA certified number plate dealer, not the DVLA. As a DVLA certified dealer we buy DVLA registrations on your behalf and handle the paperwork. Our valuations are data-driven estimates based on historical sales, market trends and plate characteristics.
