If my vehicle already has a cherished registration number, can I transfer both marks simultaneously?
Yes, this is not usually a problem, provided the conditions of the government’s Transfer and Retention Scheme are met. You will need to supply us with two sets of documents (one for each vehicle), the V5 registration document and the MOT certificate (if applicable). You should supply these as soon as possible.
We will not charge you anything for this service. However, there will be an additional standard government fee of £80 since there are in effect two transfers. If you wish to retain the third party vehicle’s registration mark on a retention certificate there will be a further standard fee of £25. Cheques should be made payable to ‘DVLA’.
