How and where do I apply?
We are able to offer this service to you as part of our transfer package, or you can complete the forms and take or send them to a Vehicle Registration Office together with all the relevant documents.
Documents Required:
- The registration documents for the donor vehicle (the vehicle giving up the number).
- The registration document for the recipient vehicle (the vehicle which will receive the number).
- A test certificate for each vehicle that requires one. (Although either vehicle may not be old enough to need one, they must belong to a class of vehicle that normally requires MOT or HGV testing. If a vehicle is of a type that does not normally require testing, such as a milk float or agricultural machine, then a transfer is not allowed.)
- Licence discs (if current).
- The relevant certificate of insurance or valid cover note for any vehicle being licensed.
- The current fee of £80
What happens next?
The Vehicle Registration Office may wish to inspect the vehicles. If so, you will be advised of the date and location of the inspection. If everything is in order you will be notified of when to change the plates and what to do next.
