Cherished Plate - Lost it!!!

Hi Guys,

Approx 7 years ago my sister bought me the Cherished Plate L33 GYM for my birthday, but I never got round to putting it on a car and have since lost all documentation relating to it, I can not even remember the firm who sold it.

But I must still own the plate - how can I find out about it?!!!!!!!

All replies gratefully recieved!!!

Well it's not available for sale from the DVLA so your best bet is to contact them.

I believe that if there is no action on a registration number for a period of five years, the DVLA assume that the vehicle has been scrapped. Thats how these number plates become available for re-sale. NO ACTION means that if a new V5 or Road Fund licence is not applied for. Equally if an M.O.T etc is not issued. As the previous post suggests. apply to the DVLA to have the VRM re-instated to you and whatever you do use it or sell it on;; otherwise you will lose it again.

To my knowledge you have 12 months to assign number to your car, pay fee to keep on retention or if you dont do either you lose the number.

Might be different for 5 years back but deffo what papers said with mine purchased Dec 07.
