Once the application for the transfer has been accepted by the vehicle registration office they may request to inspect the donor vehicle for clarification of the VIN chassis number (so all numbers correspond with each other).

A. No problem, providing we receive the balance payment within 7 days we can either retain the number or leave the number on the donor vehicle until you are in receipt of the necessary documentation ( if within 4 weeks). If we need to retain the number the Department of Transport will charge a further £25.00.

Q. What happens to my payment if I change my mind before the transfer and no longer want the registration I have reserved?

A. The payment is lost. We do not offer any refunds if you change your mind or cancel the order.

Q. Does the price include the vehicle?

A. No. You are merely acquiring the right to use the registration number on your own vehicle after it has been transferred from the present one.

Q. Are registration numbers good investments?

A. Values of all numbers have increased over the past few years and there is no reason why this trend should not continue.

Q. If the registration transfer should fail do I get a full refund?

A. Yes. If we can not find you an alternative, we guarantee to give you an instant refund in the event of a transfer failing. However our liability is strictly limited to a full refund ONLY and no claims for damages, interest on monies paid or any other expenses will be entertained. If the failure is due to you not supplying the necessary documents within the period of time required by us, no refunds will be given. Issue of the new V5 by Swansea shall be deemed proof of acceptance and conclusion of the transfer. CARREG PRIVATE NUMBER PLATES liability is confined to the initial transfer only.

Q. When can I put my new number plates on?

A. Number plates MUST not be displayed on the vehicle until advised by either CARREG PRIVATE NUMBER PLATES or the Department of transport.

Q. How do you know if a number plate is genuine?

A. The donor vehicle is inspected by LVRO - Department of Transport to ensure that it is the genuine vehicle and registration. We take care of all this. If any discrepancy is discovered the transfer will fail. However, it should be noted that The Secretary of State for Transport (as keeper of the records) may revoke the relevant right to a registration mark at any time for whatever reasons, and CARREG PRIVATE NUMBER PLATES cannot be held responsible in the very unlikely event of this occurring.

Q. Does the recipient vehicle need to be inspected by the authorities?

A. No. However, if for example, there was a change of construction of the vehicle the authorities may then want to inspect it. We would notify you if this was necessary.

Q. How long does a car registration transfer take?

A. The average time scale is three to eight weeks but may take a little longer if for example are awaiting the donor/recipient V5 from department of transport. We ensure that every transfer is expedited as quickly as possible. In some instances transfers can take longer and the time period cannot be guaranteed, but we would keep you informed of the progress in any event. However, it should be noted that the transfer cannot be started until we receive the requisite documents.

Q. What happens if I need to tax or MOT my vehicle whilst the transfer is being processed?

A. This presents no problem for us; you simply send the tax application to us, ensuring that you state the old registration number on the application form. If it is just a case of a new MOT being obtained, again you ensure that the garage MOT the vehicle under the old mark and send the certificate to us immediately.

Q. What if I want my new number plate on V778 retention?

A. This can be arranged without any problem, but once you have the certificate you the new nominated party will be responsible to contact us for any extensions or changes on the certificate. CARREG PRIVATE NUMBER PLATES may be able to help but can not be held responsible for any expired certificates. If the V750 or V778 certificate expires you will lose the number. It should be noted that the nominee is not the grantee and CARREG PRIVATE NUMBER PLATES can not be held responsible should DOT withdraw the number any time for whatever reason.

Q. Is it possible to transfer a car registration to a vehicle registered with a "Q" mark?

A. Transfers are not possible to "Q registered vehicles.

Q. Do I have to keep the car registration on my vehicle for any specific time period before I can transfer it again and how do I do this?
