Selling private number plate

I want to sell it fairly quickly, thanks for the advice, I guess the new keeper pays the transfer fee once it's on retention?.

That's one of the changes I referred to.

There is NO separate transfer fee any more.

It's all in a one-off £80 fee which now includes all stages of changing over a plate.

I posted this only yesterday:

It's now incredibly easy on-line.

Take off - https://www.gov.uk/keep-registration-number

You pay £80 and it's valid for 10 years - once the online application is successful, you can use the retention certificate which will be issued by post to assign the personalised registration to a new vehicle.

Again it can be done on-line.

I like the sound of this lets hope it works well, last time i changed my car the dealer was losing patience due to the delay cased by the reg transfer which took an age using the old system

All that appears to have changed is the time limits and renewing. Everything else - the £80 includes the trandfer fee - is as before. Until the arrival of the Retention Certificate (which was never for 'as long as you like' ) you had to have it on another vehicle - I had 3 mopeds to store plates... boy was I glad when retentions came in.

If selling plades, ONLY go through a CNDA member - anyone else is risky.

Thanks for this - very informative. I was last involved in swapping a number over back in 2007 when I got the Mondeo, and things have obviously moved on since then.
