Registration number question

[Kiltie]

Apologies in advance if it seems like I'm being fik or lazy. I'm frazzled right now and can't see an obvious answer.

Here's the situation.

• I have a personal reg number.
• I want to sell my car and replace it with a pre-owned car with its own registration.
• My current car was bought new and the registration was bought at the same time - so it's never had another number.
• I want the car I'm about to buy to ultimately have my personal reg number.

I think my first step is to put my registration on retention.

What I can't figure out is how to get a replacement registration to sell the car with.

Any guidance greatly appreciated.

In addition, I'd be grateful for an idea of how long the process takes.

Superb - thanks.
