Car Marks in addition to selling thousands
of our own stock items we also hold many public commissions
and the stock and commissions of many other dealers
throughout the UK. Occasionally errors creep in as we
are only human. Also there are circumstances where a
recently acquired mark is still on our database because
the owner has failed to advise us of the sale. If you
have recently noted that your mark is listed and wish
us to remove it from the site, please send an email
to info@carmarks.net
not forgetting to quote the registration in question.
Registration numbers must be correctly
displayed in accordance with the regulations governing
the design, manufacture and display of vehicle registration
plates. It is an offence to mis-space or mis-represent
registrations on number plates or to corrupt numbers
to appear as letters or vice versa. More information
on spacing can be found in leaflet V796 Display of Registration
Marks which is obtainable from your nearest VRO and
the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre (DVLC), Swansea.
An individual acquires entitlement to
a registration number when he or she becomes the registered
keeper of the vehicle which carries the number. When
the vehicle changes hands, entitlement to its registration
number will automatically pass with the vehicle to the
new keeper unless use is made of the special facilities
which have been designed to allow motorists to acquire
and retain particular registration numbers. Namely,
the Cherished Transfer, Retention and Sale of Marks
schemes.
If your vehicle is stolen and has not
been recovered after a year you can apply to have its
registration number re-assigned to your replacement
vehicle providing certain conditions are met. In order
to qualify for the concession, the theft must have been
notified to the police and recorded at DVLC as stolen
for not less than 12 months.
The Cherished Transfer Scheme enables
an assigned registration number to be moved directly
from one vehicle to another. Only the registered keeper
of a vehicle is entitled to apply to transfer its number.
Application form V317 Transfer of Registration Mark
must be completed and the fee for a transfer is £80.
The Retention Scheme enables a number to be held apart from the vehicle it
has been assigned to, for a 12 month period pending
its re-assignment to another vehicle. Only the registered
keeper of a vehicle is entitled to apply for a right
of retention. Application form V778/1 Retention of
Vehicle Registration Mark must be completed and the
application fee is £25 plus an assignment fee
of £80, bringing the total payable to £105.
