Number Plate FAQs

What happens to the registration that is currently on my vehicle if I buy a new registration?

You may choose to pay the Department of Transport fee and retain it, otherwise the registration is automatically made void. Unless you retain the number you can remove and dispose of the old plates when the time comes to fit your new ones. For further information see our notes on the Retention Scheme.
