       HPI check for original registration

       Hello all,
       was  wondering if an HPI report showing the original
       registration would be acceptable evidence for DVLA to reissue
       it? Have been happy with my number plate for the last 17 years
       so not really bothered to change it if it's a hassle, but on the
       other hand if it's easy enough to do it would be quite nice to
       have it back. Any thoughts?
       Cheers,
       Will

       Will, you're best off sending £5 and a V888 to the DVLA to get
       the full history on your vehicle. You'll get pages and pages of
       stuff, it'll probably take a month or so. You need to ascertain
       if the original plate has been replaced by a cherished one (i.e.
       is currently unallocated) or if your vehicle has been
       plate-raped, i.e. the the original plate has been sold. If the
       former, yes you can get them to reassign it for free if you
       waive the rights to the plate currently on it. If the latter, no
       you'll need to track down the current owner and try and buy it
       from them. Link to form:
