How to transfer a reg plate from one vehicle to another

How do I transfer a cherished number plate from vehicle to vehicle?Under
the DVLA cherished number plate transfer scheme, the DVLA in Swansea
allows the transfer of a personalised registration mark from one
vehicle to another.Below we have outlined the transfer
procedure which must be carried out through your local DVLA vehicle
registration office, not through a Post Office, as some people are led
to believe.If you would rather let an established and reputable
registration dealer handle the entire cherished transfer for you, then
we offer a paperwork only option on any registration mark for a nominal
fee. Whether you are a returning customer or whether you have purchased
your personalised registration elsewhere, we can help you with any
aspect of paperwork.To apply to transfer a mainland UK
cherished number plate you will first need to obtain the offical
transfer application form called a V317
(application to transfer a vehicle registration mark). You can pick up
a V317 form from your local DVLA vehicle registration office, or you
may download one from the ftreg.com website for free.(If you Google our
company name 'Finishing Touch Registrations' you will find our site,
then take a look on the right hand side menu of our hompage for 'DVLA
Transfer Form - V317', this will provide you with a FREE download of
the form you require) When you have the V317 transfer form you
will need to read through it very carefully to ensure that all vehicles
participating in the cherished transfer are legible and fall within all
of the DVLA rules governing the transfer of cherished number plates.You
will need to complete all areas of the V317 application form and then
take it into your local DVLA vehicle registration office along with the
vehicle documentation listed below for all vehicles taking part in the
cherished transfer.It is worth pointing out at this stage,
should you choose to use our transfer only service, because we are in
daily contact with our local DVLA transfer office your cherished
transfer application would be submitted by ourselves the day we receive
it from you. This not only saves you time driving out to your local
DVLA office, it also avoids the problem of having to compete for a
parking space in a nearby car park.Vehicle documentation required for the donor and the recipient vehicle
