I've wanted a personalised plate for ages, as my initials are "JET" and I thought they would make for a nice plate for my motorbike. However, I've always put it off because I thought it would be too complicated in practice. Having browsed on the DVLA site many times I finally found THE plate I wanted, and launched into the buying process with some trepidation. I placed the order at about 4 PM on a Friday, received the necessary document (V750) in the post the following Thursday and was able to get a plate made and assign the new number to my bike at the local DVLA office on the Friday. It was all done by about 2 PM. So the plate was fully assigned and fitted to my bike within a week of making the initial purchase.
All the information on DVLA's website was clear, and it was very comprehensive. There were no nasty surprises or add-ons on the price.
I must also say that I found the local DVLA office (Bristol) to be extremely professional, helpful and friendly.
