Change registration number

  • Voyager777's Avatar
    Hi, explain this one to me please. I want to change the registration number on my car. Same car, same details, just a personalised number plate. How do I do this? Do I change the car? Does it become a new policy? Do I have to speak to someone and get charged admin fees? Or is it just plain and simple?Please, Please let me know.Thanks.

    Hi , if you follow the below process in the link to change this through 'Your Insurance Account'. However you would only update the registration rather than the whole vehicle. If you;re making the change online then we wouldn't charge an admin fee.

    Hi @WindyWeather

    It should only take a few minutes via Your Insurance Account to update your vehicle registration to a private / cherished plate.
    Once you log in, select the policy you want to make the change on and then click 'Make Changes'.
    Click 'Amend car details' from the drop down menu.
    Select the date you want your change to take effect from, read the statements carefully and if accepted, click 'Confirm'.
    Please enter your new registration but DO NOT click 'Find my car', simply check all the information and scroll down to click 'Continue'.
    You will then be presented with the cost to make the change and the option of adding any optional extras to your policy
    If you're happy and want to go ahead, click 'Go to checkout'. If you do not want to go ahead, click 'Back to your account'.

    I see from RossM above that there will be no admin charge if you complete this online.

    Hope this helps!!!
    Warm wishes, Caz @25H
