When i sold my old civic, it only took a day to get my private plate off the car and onto retention. four days in all for the document to come back to me in the post ready to fill when the car was being collected the following day.
I then purchased an S2000 which it would not have not looked very good on so left it on retention.
Then i decided to sell the S2 and go back to an R but the new FN2, found one privatley and I asked the seller if i could have the full document when i purchased it so i could do the plate transfer all together, he was happy to do that and that only took a phone call to the insurance and a trip down to the office. one day again. that was the tuesday and my new registration document was delivered on thursday in my name and with the private plate on it.
