Personalised registration numbers.

A question, can personalised reg. numbers be transfered to a Japanese import?

I believe that once it’s registered it should be fine, but happy to be corrected….

My guess is yes BUT...

 

As with any vanity plate, you cannot move any plate to a vehicle that is older than the plate !

Thank you both, I will bear that in mind.

We have put a ‘v’ reg on our 2005 with no problems..

Hi Tony,

 

Yes you should not have had any trouble.

 

As V is a 1999 plate, putting the older plate on a newer (2005) vehicle is OK.

 

As plates signify a year of manufacture; DVLA will not allow a plate that is younger than the vehicle it is destined for.
