It’s easy Tony, as long as you have the retention certificate reference number and your V5c.
Don’t forget to let your insurance company know straight away though. Oh, and be prepared to pay their admin charge (although sometimes they waive it).
Yes…. Just be aware though that if the plate is T12 OXX, but you space it as T120 XX, and you attract the attention of the authorities, you run the risk of having the plate confiscated.
Not to scaremonger but I do know of a couple of instances where ANPR cameras have recognised miss spacing and issued automatic fines and a warning that if spotted again the plate will be forfitted.
No, but the bikes current number will stay with the bike and when you move your private plate, the bike will revert back to the current number.
So save your plate, it will save you £15-£20 on a new one when the time comes.
Really easy. You just need the retention certificate number and V5. You can change it instantaneously online, so it’s best to get the plates made up first. As said before, once swapped you just let your insurance company know. Mine (Admiral) charged £5.50 admin fee and all done online straight away.
The old number plate would get re-assigned to the vehicle when you apply to retain your private plate.
I wouldn’t space the plate against the rules…it’s just not worth the attention or having to swap plates for MOT etc.

If I were you I'd check what the plate will look like with legal spacing, and if you space it illegally how much hassle you might want to attract.

Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
With a two row motorcycle plate, you have only one choice, keep it legal with the OXX on the lower row, or XX only.
I now own a car with the original reg number B2 MXX, which the PO spaced as B2M XX.
There were repeated MOT failures for the incorrectly spaced plate, and formal warnings when the owner was stopped.
Is it worth the hassle ? the Met appear happy to to put effort into these trivial offences rather than catch rapists and murderers.
Within a week of the online number assignment, you will receive a printed form which allows you to order a number plate with the new reg details.
Of course it could be proper T120 xxx rather than a T12 Oxx like this one https://absolutereg.co.uk/registration/T120UBL
Perhaps people with private plates make fewer claims? When I got my insurance, fully comp was literally cheaper, as it seems people who want to shell out for fully comp are lower risk.
