What
are the requirements for participating vehicles?
Participating
vehicles must be currently licensed, subject to annual testing
(MOT) and available for inspection. However, applications
involving untaxed donor vehicles will still be considered
if:
- the
tax disc for the donor vehicle expired no more than
six months prior to the date of the application
- the
donor vehicle is not old enough to be tested, ie less
than three years old for cars, motorcycles, etc or
less than one year old in the case of HGVs
In
both the above circumstances, all other requirements of
the number transfer facility must be met in order for applications
to be considered. Recipient vehicles must be currently taxed
in order to participate in the number transfer arrangements.
Are
there any special rules for motorcycles?
No,
motorcycles and mopeds can participate fully in the number
transfer arrangements, providing they meet all the normal
transfer requirements.
Is
there any type of vehicle that is not eligible to participate
in the transfer scheme?
Non-testable
vehicles eg tractors, electrically propelled vehicles etc,
cannot participate in the scheme.
Where
do I apply?
Any
application to transfer a registration number must be made
on a V317 transfer application form which is available from
your nearest DVLA local office or from the DVLA, Swansea.
Can
a registration number be transferred between vehicles if one
of the vehicles is registered in Northern Ireland?
Yes,
provided that both vehicles meet the requirements of the transfer
scheme. You should contact your DVLA local office for more
information.
