Transferring a Private number plate

[j80jpw]

I want to transfer my private plate from a vehicle i wish to sell to another vehicle I own.

Is this the way I have to do it online?

Step 1. Take the registration no. off the Vehicle for £80.00

Step 2. Then use the online rention number to put the number on the other vechicle? Not sure of the cost of this part?

Or is there a simple transfer process I can use, i seem to remeber it being cheaper to transfer a plate than retain then reassign?

Thanks, you wouldnt have a link for this would you? I can only find two seperate processes, one to retain and one to put the registration on to a vehicle.

Not one to transfer directly from one to another.

No, I tried that, just goes through to making payment for the £80.00 to retain, no other options.... hmmmmm...

You can't do a direct transfer. It's transfer onto retention and then onto a vehicle unfortunately

Thanks, this certainly looks to be the case. They probably make more money that way, im sure it used to be much cheaper to just move the plate so you dont pay the rention fee.
