V778 certificate expiry date

TIP: Try searching for names, jobs, hobbies, initials etc.


Frequently asked questions

  • Where is the expiry date on a V778 certificate?
    The expiry date appears in the upper section of the V778 retention document. The annotated image on this page highlights exactly where to look on the certificate.
  • How long is a V778 retention certificate valid for?
    A V778 is valid for 12 months from the date of issue. It can be extended for a fee before it expires. DVLA allows extensions in 12-month increments up to a maximum of 10 years from original issue.
  • What happens if my V778 expires before I assign the number plate?
    If a V778 expires, you lose entitlement to the retained registration mark and DVLA may re-release it to other buyers. Always renew before the expiry date to protect your ownership of the plate.
  • How do I extend a V778 certificate before it expires?
    Send your V778 to DVLA with the current extension fee well before the expiry date. DVLA will issue a new certificate with an extended validity period in return.
  • Can I sell a number plate held on an expired V778?
    No. An expired V778 is invalid. You would need to contact DVLA to discuss your options, but once the certificate has lapsed there is no guarantee the registration mark can be recovered.
