Is my registration number eligible for sale?
Not all registration marks qualify for transfer and you are responsible for ensuring that your registration mark qualifies before endorsing its advertisement. To apply for this service, please ensure that the following conditions are satisfied:-
- The vehicle’s registration is not "non-transferrable". If the vehicle registration document (v5 / logbook) states that the registration mark is non-transferrable, then under no circumstances can it be transferred to another vehicle or retained on a certificate.
- The vehicle is subject to MOT / HGV testing. Certain vehicles such as milk floats and agricultural vehicles are non-testable and so do not qualify for the transfer scheme. Again, please refer to the vehicle’s registration document.
- The vehicle has valid tax and MOT (see exception). At the time of a transfer application the donor vehicle must have current tax (or be tax exempt) and if over three years old, have a valid MOT. However, where this is not the case, applications will still be considered under certain circumstances (please refer to My vehicle has no MOT and/or is not currently taxed. Can I sell its registration?) In addition, all vehicles must be clearly identifiable from their chassis numbers.
- You have ownership rights to the mark. You must be the registered keeper of the vehicle or have the full consent of the registered keeper.
- The vehicle must still exist. Once a vehicle has been scrapped, the registration mark becomes void and all rights to it are lost, even if you still hold the registration document. If you are considering disposing of your vehicle and wish to sell the registration mark, transfer it first.
If your registration mark is held on a certificate, none of the above conditions will apply, however:-
- For marks held on certificates, the certificate must be valid. The certificate (v750 or v778) must not have expired and you must be the official purchaser (grantee) of the certificate or have the full consent of the official purchaser (grantee).
