This is a guest post\nfor which I have been financially compensated for its inclusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it\u2019s time to sell your car, you may be wondering what the\nbest option is if you have a private number plate attached to it. There are\nseveral things you can do, such as keep hold of the number plate, have it\nfitted onto your new vehicle, or simply sell it along with the vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever option you choose, there are certain procedures\nyou must take to ensure you do it properly. The DVLA have set rules in which\nyou must follow when it comes to selling and retaining<\/a> a number\nplate. Although this may seem overwhelming, whatever you choose is a simple\nprocess, and we\u2019ve got the lowdown on exactly what you need to do, whether\nselling or not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retaining my number\nplate <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Private number plates can hold a certain amount of\nsentimental value and you may not necessarily want to get rid of your plate\njust because you are selling your vehicle. Similarly, if you know your number\nplate is worth a lot of money, or has the potential to in the future, you may\nwant to keep hold if it until you decide to sell. This is known as number plate\nretention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is what you want to do, the process is simple. You\nwill have to fill out a V317 form on the DVLA website, or print one off and\nsend it via post. You will also be required to pay \u00a380 in order to have the\nnumber plate removed. Once your number plate retention application has gone\nthrough, you should receive a Certificate of Retention that proves the plate is\nyours and no longer needs to be placed on a vehicle. This will last for 10\nyears. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting my plate on\nanother vehicle <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If, however, you have another vehicle to attach the number\nplate to, this can also be done. You will have to fill out the V317 application\neither online or via post, but you will also be required to pay \u00a380 and provide\nthe DVLA with the vehicle\u2019s V5C certificate. If you have only just purchased\nthe vehicle then you will need to provide the V5C\/2 new keepers section of the\nprevious owner\u2019s V5C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with this, you will need to ensure both the old and\nthe new vehicle meet the required standards of the DVLA. Both must be taxed, or\ndeclared SORN and have a valid MOT. On top of this, if the DVLA want to inspect\nthe vehicle, it must be in a driveable state to be taken to their offices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selling the number\nplate <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, if you decide to sell the plate along with the\nvehicle, this is a possible option too. When you sell the car, you will have to\nname the buyer as the new owner of the plate on a V317 application form. Once\nthis has been approved, they will be the legal owner of the number plate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your old vehicle is left without a number plate, the DVLA\nwill usually issue your vehicle with its original number plate before a private\none was placed on it. However, if this is not available, they will assign a suitable\nplate to the vehicle that shows the year the car was first registered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
