Number Plate FAQs

If I am buying a new unregistered vehicle can I transfer a number onto it?

Yes, this is usually easy enough. RegTransfers will require the form V55 from your supplying garage (it is wise to check with the vehicle supplier first as certain vehicle franchises will NOT release V55 documents for reasons that they would explain) plus your insurance certificate and cheque payable to Department of Transport for the road tax and £80 transfer fee. Due to the fact that the transfer time is uncertain it may be more appropriate to have a normal registration assigned by the garage supplying the vehicle while you are waiting for your transfer to complete. This would ensure that you have full use of the vehicle whilst the transfer is taking place.
