What are car registrations?
Car registrations are not items of property in their own right. They are assigned
by the DVLA and may be withdrawn by the Secretary of State as part of the
basic registration and licensing process which is required by law.
The personalised registration number is a unique
means of identifying a vehicle, primarily for taxation and law enforcement
purposes. It is assigned to the vehicle rather than its keeper, and unless
it is transferred or retained the registration number normally remains with
the vehicle until it is broken up, destroyed or sent permanently out of the
country. 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.
