Current belfast reg is TFZ
@Sudesh I think this can be done now. I was on today looking up this very thing. If you click the updates history link it mentions that the form has been updated due to the centralisation of NI vehicle services. V317 form to fill out.

are we going to start getting english regs allocated to new NI cars now or are they sticking with the ABC 1234 format?

just asked the question on the phone to Lana from DVLA:
DVLA will issue a northern ireland region registration number which is next in the sequence. if you want a geogrpahical based reg e.g. one from Enniskillen, Blefats, Coleraine, ETC you need to attach a covering letter specifying it - they will look at it on a case by case basis.
Retention - yes it is now available for NI folk
Change of ownership - just send to DVLA Swansea.
Went into the Kennedy Centre Post Office yesterday for change of ownership and tax the Z3. Took a little while as it was the first they'd done it but was all relatively painless. Only downside is I used to get paid to sit in the tax office as I work in the Gasworks and just sat in the tax office until all was done then went back to work.

Tried to tax her car on Monday, it asked for 16 digit ref number from the reminder form, which they don't have on the NI one FFS and she doesn't know where her V5 is.
They should have that sorted before sending a leaflet with it saying to do it online.

Makes it sound like they'll eventually do away with the diff NI county plates and just have a giant NI list to generate plates from. Would make more sense tbh

No but if they include the ref number on the renewal form as stated on their website she wouldn't need to find it lol

Yeah I'm a bit stuck here too. There's no reference on the V11, and using the ref from the V5 it still says it's not recognised. Tried the phone line and there's no human contact. It's all automated and asks for the same references. Bit stuck now...

Great, so ill likely be in the same boat when/if she manages to find her V5
I'm having a nightmare of a time with a number plate transfer.
I sent the application to Coleraine on the 11th of July expecting them to process it since it was "in before the close" on the 18th. I phoned Coleraine last Wednesday and was told that the last day for registration transfers was the 11th of July and that my application would have been forwarded to Swansea. So I phoned Swansea yesterday to ask them if they had received my application and they told me to bugger off and not call back for 14 days. Apparently they only took responsibility for NI on the 21/07.
This could end up costing me £7,000 since I've sold the vehicle and the person doesn't want to pick it up until the registration has been transferred and I currently have no idea how long that is going to take.
In fairness to the DVLNI they were always very efficient when it came to registration transfers and were always able to tell me if they had received it and what stage it was at any time I called for an enquiry.
They should have had an overlap period and that's what I thought was going to happen. I assumed they were going to take all post up until the 18th of July and then that meant they had until the end of the month to work their way through it locally at DVLNI. It seems stupid to close on a random date like that for any other reason.

Just off the phone there about my registration from England, the V5 was shipped to Swansea few weeks ago who destroyed it.
Got through within a couple minutes to an operator, explained it, she transferred me to someone else, explained it again, put on hold for 10 mins, came back to say it'll be processed now and with me in 2 weeks.
Handy enough if it works.

On hold with them now as they investigate! They think i own a car i haven't had since about 10 years ago. Had 4 cars since :-( Frankly tempted to just not bother with tax as it's never going to tally up on their systems.
Ok, so apparently they're going to investigate and get back to me in 72 hours! Guy said none of my records have been handed over from DVA NI in Coleraine. Cool.

Exactly, it'll prove some of the mouths on here how good our system really was.
