Bugsy Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Does anyone know if it is now possible to change your existing plates to the new style.It was planned for last year but was then delayed so I wonder if it is now possible and how do you go about it.Thanks.

AnOther Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I don't think you can just voluntarily change, the need for new style plates would be triggered by a change in the registration details such as a sale or change of address.Why do you want to change, what is the benefit ?

Balham Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I remember that when the new plates started it was possible for someone to change from the old style plates to the new style plates without moving or selling. Just go to the prefecture and ask them how to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 First I've ever heard of that. Why would anybody want to do it anyway, surely not to make a car more saleable because the new owner would no have to pay for new plates themselves ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The replacement will be issued with a new-style number; I don't think you have any choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
