The cherished transfer scheme.
The cherished transfer scheme enables private number plates to be moved between vehicles. Only the registered keeper of the vehicle concerned is allowed to initiate a transfer and he/she must use form V317 to facilitate the transfer.If the receiving vehicle is already registered i.e. not brand new, its existing registration number will become void once the transfer is complete. However if the registration number transferred is subsequently removed from this receiving vehicle and put on another vehicles or on retention then the voided registration number is nearly always resurrected and applied to the vehicle in place of the number just removed.
