Motor Trader Number Plates... How do you get them?
As title.........
Being made redunant soon and always fancied getting in to the car game properly, i've got traders insurance but not sure where to get some "trade plates" from.

Go to your local DVLA office with proof that your a motor trader, and i mean LOTS of proof and they will sort them out for you

You will also have to be VAT registered.
No good going to the DVLA office, you need to call them and get a form to fill in. they then do a visit to your trade premises, and you will need a valid reason for them as well
mine too 3 months

Not sure, i got mine before the budget and they were £93.50 for the first 6 months. After the 1st six months you have to go back and prove that your still a motor trader and they will give you a full year

You do not need to be VAT registered and they did not come to my premisis
I think as long as you can prove beyond all doubt that you need them and are indeed a motor trader they will issue them no problem

Yes somone else i was talking to got a year straight away, i think it depends on the local office you go to.

I had to do a 6 month Probation 1st, Then i after a visit to my Home address (Trade from Home) they gave me them fully. I did have to show lots if invoices & traders policy to prove i was a trader.
Cost the Price of a tax disc.
Just for the record I was not VAT registered.
