i have a car on finance and i purchased a private plate for it, the car has just been stolen, what happens to the plate now? do i have it back or does the insurance company own it once they pay the car out?

The 'plate' is your property, registered with DVLC. If the car is wriiten off, the 'plate' will still be yours. Until the Police are satisfied that the car is not going to be found, the DVLC will be reluctant to let you use it on another car.

As long as you have informed the insurance company of the private plate then you should still be able to re-assign it to a new car. I think you have to re-register your stolen car in its original resgistration number then you hold your private plate on papers.

the plate is yours no matter what its registered with DVLA to you and always will unless you dont register the plate on a veichle within 1 year or you dont pay retention for it if its not being registered.just go to the shop with your documents and get more plates made up thriugh your insurance if your others cant be recovered.hope this helps.
