Reg cert or log book change

[Maydup]

I want to transfer the reg cert (log book) on our car from mine to my husband's name. Can I just do change of name (eg from Mrs Fran to Mr Frank and let them think I've had a sex change!) or do we have to go through the whole transfer process as if I've sold it to him?

you have to change the logbook by taking it to the local ofice,thus putting on another owner which is a shame!,by the way if you aredoing this for insurance purposes then be aware that you are entitled to insure a vehicle that does not belong to you,eg if your husband wants to insure the vehicle it can still be in your name but i'd run it by your insurance company first,as although the registered keeper is not necessarily the legal owner,in event of an accident they could well try to wriggle out of paying out as afer all they really are to$$ers through and through!

Thanks 2bears
I am doing this for insurance purposes, its �100 cheaper for husband so thought best to transfer the car as well as the insurance. There is a change of name section on the logbook where I could just put Frank as opposed to Fran even though they are only used to it being used for change or surname. Wonder what people thought?

Leave it in your name and just insure it in your husbands name, no need to involve any insurance company.

Due to circumstancesat the time, I am the named main driver on my wifes car and she is the named main driver on my car!

Hi and thanks
Husband was the named driver on my insurance, but its now cheaper to insure in his name. That's all done.

I just want to do the log book too. Can I just change the name on it or do I have to transfer fully?
