How long does DVLA registration take?

It depends on DVLA’s current processing times once it has a complete application. Delays usually come from missing documents, which is why we check everything first.

Will my car get an age-related number plate?

Yes, if we can prove its build date. We obtain a dating certificate where needed so you don’t end up with a Q plate.
