I have just bought some personal plates to go on my car I have the certificate of entitlement back question is when can I put the plates on the do I have to wait for the V5 to come back first or can I put them on now
There does not seem to be much help on DVLA site :y

Have you assigned the plate to a vehicle yet?
If so here's an extract from DVLA :-
Assigning a personalised number to a vehicle
You need to apply to DVLA to assign your personalised registration number to a vehicle. It can only be used on a vehicle that’s registered (or about to be registered), taxed and used in the UK.
How to assign your personalised number to a vehicle
Send your application to DVLA.
DVLA
Swansea
SA99 1DS
You need:
the V750 certificate of entitlement or V778 retention document signed by the person named at the top of the certificate
the registration certificate (V5C) or the new keeper supplement with a completed V62 ‘application for a vehicle registration certificate V5C’ form
an MOT test certificate for cars and motorcycles over 3 years old (1 year for heavy goods vehicles)
Pre-1960 vehicles need a valid MOT to assign a registration number.
You must complete a V62 form and return it to DVLA Swansea before applying if the new keeper supplement has been stamped by DVLA.
Conditions for assigning a personalised registration number
You can’t:
put a personalised registration number onto a vehicle displaying a ‘Q’ number plate
make the vehicle look newer than it actually is
Adding a nominee or taxing your vehicle when you assign the number
You can add a nominee when assigning the registration number by:
completing section 2 of the V750 or V778
enclosing the £25 nominee fee by cheque or postal order payable to DVLA (do not send cash)
You can tax the vehicle at the same time. You need:
a completed V10 application
a cheque (payable to DVLA, no cash accepted) for the correct vehicle tax
What happens next
Once DVLA gets your application they may need to inspect the vehicle - they’ll contact you if they need to.
DVLA should approve your application within 2 weeks and send you:
a letter showing the new registration number
a V948 authorisation letter that you’ll need to get your number plate made up
a replacement MOT test certificate for cars and motorcycles over 3 years old (1 year for heavy goods vehicles)
a new V5C registration certificate - this can take 4 to 6 weeks to arrive
Your application may take longer if DVLA needs to inspect your vehicle.
You need to tell your insurance company your new registration number.
When I bought mine many moons ago, we still had a local DVLA centre, and as the guys was doing the V5, MOT etc, I asked the same question.
I'm sure the answer was that once you have the new paperwork, you have a couple of weeks grace, to get the plates changed.
Good luck!

Thank Ross
I have applied to dvla to assign the number I did actually find some thing about it on the web looks like I have to wait for them to say go ahead
A lot of the info on the web is out of date they were all saying about waiting for a new tax disc but I don't have one for my car
I have already had the plates made up and didn't need any paperwork £9.65 for the pair from eBay
-
Ok so It appears now you just need to wait for the V5C to come back and then you can fit the new plates :)

It used to be much simpler when we had local DVLA offices, you could do it there and then................. :( :(

It would be so much easier if it could just be done on line thought with out having to send everything through the post ,just an email to say the change had been made and that the V5 was on its way

Government agencies are institutionally opposed to 'easier' in any way that benefits you.
