New private plate assign and keep current question

Hi

I've bought a new private plate for the wife's car and want to put the current one on retention to sell.

Do I just put the current one on retention first, get a new number assigned and then put the new private plate on?

 

Is there a way to skip having the new assigned number and go straight from current to new?

 

TIA

Seconded. There is no way to retain a private plate and assign one at the same time.

 

I actually phoned the DVLA about this as it's bonkers and a complete waste of time. i was in the same situation, had a private plate on the car when i bought it so i put it on retention to sell so i could put my own private plate on. 

 

The only saving grace is that the documents normally come quite quickly.
