Key Changes to V750 and V778:

The DVLA recently announced a redesign of two crucial documents in the world of private number plates – the V750 Certificate of Entitlement and the V778 Retention Document. Here's what you need to know about these changes:

1. New Design: The redesigned documents will feature a fresh layout. The V750 and V778, previously known for their distinctive pink, green, and blue colours, will now be printed on plain, watermarked paper.
2. Certificate/Document Reference Number: This crucial number will now be located on the back of the form, making it easier to locate and reference.
3. Removal of Signature Requirement: In an effort to streamline the process, the requirement for a signature on these documents has been removed.
4. Bilingual Versions: Reflecting the diversity of the UK, bilingual versions of these documents (V750W or V778W) will be issued to customers with a Welsh postcode. These versions will be available in standard A4 size.
5. Updated Guidance Notes: The documents will include updated guidance notes, helping you to understand and utilise them more effectively.
6. Bulk Delivery for Dealers: Dealers, including Utopia Plates, will receive these documents in bulk, ensuring we can serve our customers efficiently.
7. Validity of Old Certificates: It’s important to note that all certificates issued before this change will remain valid and will be accepted under normal rules.
