Selling a number plate

[theren_911]

HI - i hope someone can help me on this!

I have recently written off my new car - which has a cherished numberplate, can I sell this without re registering a new one, as it's being written off?

If i can how would i arrange this with the dvla etc? I couldn't find any advice for this on their website!

Thanks, Ren

i had this problem when my car was written off,apply to have the number put on retention as soon as possible.but you will need to get a letter from your insurance company as to their permission for you to do this,it will take a little longer then normal but it will get done for you by the dvla.

further to the above,you wont be able to sell the plate until it is on retention.
