• V5C Registration documents (or completed new keeper’s supplements with V62 form)
• MOT certificate(s) (if applicable, i.e. more than 3 years since first registration)
• Photo copies of Valid tax discs (or V10 form(s) along with certificate(s) of motor insurance and appropriate payment for new tax disc(s).
• Cheque for £80 made payable to the department of transport.
The Donor vehicle (the one that the registration is coming off) will receive an age related registration mark.
Before you apply for a transfer, Please Note:
(i) The registration mark can only be transferred to a vehicle that is of the same age or newer than the age identifier on the registration mark. Eg if the registration mark is D1 ABC, you cannot assign it to a B registration vehicle, only any vehicle registered after D reg.
(ii) Only MOT testable vehicles can undertake in the scheme, i.e. not tractors or agricultural vehicles.
(iii) You cannot transfer a registration mark off a vehicle if the words “NON TRANSFERABLE” registration mark are printed in area 3 of the V5C.
When the transfer is complete, you should expect to receive the following for each vehicle:
• V5C/2 “new keepers supplement” with official government stamp. Showing the change of registration mark.
• Your MOT certificate with official government stamp. Showing the change of registration mark.
• A replacement tax disc and a return envelope for your existing tax disc.

Upon receiving these documents, you may legally display your new number plates on your vehicle. Before doing this, please remember to change over the tax disc and inform your insurance company of the change to your policy.
You will receive new V5C documents for each vehicle 2-6 weeks after the transfer has been completed.
