Technically It doesn't actually become yours until it is put on a vehicle in your name

Then if you put it on retention the document will be in your name

so do i just fill in the vehicle details for the plate to be put on?? the matey has signed that part for me. but then wouldnt the new car details be in his name>?

If you want to put it on a car, go to your local DVLA office, but remember to take the MOT, V5 and tax disk for the car you want it to go on! I took my insurance documents along just in case they needed those as well.

You need to be put yourself on as a nominee first before you can put it on a car in your name. I think it's about £10-15. Then when you get the certificate back with you named on it you will then be able to put it on your vehicle. Well that's what I was told anyway.
