Unfortunately National Numbers have extremely antiquated procedures that they will not be flexible on. They will not issue the original Retention Certificate to you quoting the Data Protection Act. They will send you a photocopy with the sellers details obliterated. They will retain the original until such time as you are ready to use it. This is rubbish! Other registration companies will issue the original without question as a matter of course. The DVLA do not understand why NN won't issue it and a lawyer friend of mine says its rubbish too. As I didn't therefore trust the company after that battle I asked them to immediately transfer the number onto one of my cars then immediately got DVLA to transfer it off again meaning I then get the retention certificate in my name. This is another £80 I really didn't want to spend. Further NN will demand that you send them the old original V5 log book document as its a DVLA requirement. This is rubbish too! You don't need to do this either as the confirmation from DVLA that NN forward onto to clearly says "you may now destroy the V5 document". If I were you I'd use another firm as they all have access to the same registration numbers.

I recently purchased a plate for my boyfriends birthday, staff went out of their way to help me do this as fast and as secretly as possible! I was well informed on what was happening with my numberplate and it was all sorted within a few days of purchase! Would highly reccomend this company! Extremely pleased with my purchase

It could not be easier to purchase a registration from National Numbers. The whole experience was quick and friendly. The new plates were dispatched quickly. The simple form sent to me just required signing and sending on to DVLA. The whole experience was good.

Bought as a surprise but yet the paperworkgor sent to my home address not the other I specified (it was a surprise for my missus) and the address on the plates were a combination of my home address and the other I specified so they took nearly 3 week to find there way to me!! So overall not impressed!

I'd used national Numbers previously 5 years ago with no issues, so when I wanted another plate, I called them. Though I had online prices for the same plate cheaper, you have to be careful as to whats been included (or not). NP managed to reduce their price slightly to match others like for like, and the info and plates came through within a couple of dates, exactly as promised.
exerlant price cant beat the 0% apr was kept up to date was transfered in under a week cheers dan
