I have bought a private plate for my RRS, been waiting just over two weeks for all the paperwork to arrive which it just has - well part of it anyway!
I've only received the Log Book back today with the new registration details on it – great! No new tax disk with new the reg? So what do I do - put new plates on because the car is now registered with the new plates but display the old tax disk with my original number plate on it. Or leave my original number plates on to match the tax disk but I will be displaying the wrong registration number??
Can somebody help?  Cheers Laurence.

When i changed my private plate over i went to my local DVLA office and they gave me my new tax disc there and then, correct me if i'm wrong it is noted on the DVLA database that there is a change over in place and they allow a few days grace to allow this to happen, previous to this with my other vehicle i was told that i could use my current tax disc until my new tax disc arrives in the post, so my plates said one thing and my tax said another, but make sure your insurance is for the plates you are using on the car at that time, otherwise you will get tugged for not having insurance, so the answer is yes you can use your old tax disc till your new one arrives unless the law has changed again recently.

The whole process has changed I found out when putting my private plate on the RRS.

The best thing is to speak to the DVLA - all the paperwork went and came back really quickly for me (log book to me, paperwork to dealer) but the tax disc refund has already taken 8 weeks! Mike

You usually receive the new tax disc & number plate authorisation certificate before the log book comes back!!!

You CANNOT put the plates on untill your new tax disk arrives,I bought my plate a couple of months ago and it clearly stated that on the paperwork.

I called in to the dvl a office in Chelmsford and they swapped it for me there and then!

To back up a couple of the other posts above, take your new V5 log book and you're "old" tax disk to your local DVLA office and they should swap old for new there and then.

I've done this on three occassions now and never had any problem. Just to be safe I always took along the private plate DVLA certificate too, but they never asked to see it, only the log book with the new private reg on it.

As above, they will also give you a new mot certificate if applicable so take your old one with you aswel. But if you've already sent it off in the post and you have the log book with the new plate details which you say you have then i would run the vehicle with the old tax disc, i was told i could do this in the past, until the new one arrives, at the end of the day your vehicle is taxed one way or another and the police will know this if dvla have updated their records.

+1 , Yep, Exactly what I did too. Get yourself down to your DVLA office and they will sort it for you  2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black
