The main thing

Give us the full picture.

The more we know, the easier it is to check the registration and answer buyer questions quickly. Not sure about the paperwork? That’s okay — say so.

Good to know: you keep the asking price you set. Reg Smart’s fee is added on top and shown clearly to buyers.

Part A — the registration

Tell us what you have and where it is held today. If you are unsure about any of this, choose “not sure” and we’ll help.

Registration you want to advertise

Up to seven letters or numbers. We’ll keep the registration in capitals.

How is the registration held right now?

On a vehicle I own Held on a V778 retention document Held on a V750 certificate of entitlement Not sure yet — please advise

Is the number transferable?

Yes No Not sure

If you’re not sure, see the “Is my plate transferable?” guide below — we’ll fact-check the details for you.

Asking price you have in mind for the registration

This is the price you want to receive. We add our fee to it when we advertise the registration — see how our fee works below.

Any notes about the registration optional

Part B — who you are

We need these details so we can advertise the plate properly, answer buyer enquiries and confirm your listing.

Full name required to advertise your plateEmail address required to advertise your plate

Telephone number required to advertise your plateFull postal address required to advertise your plate

Part C — please confirm

These two confirmations must be ticked before we can send your details. They protect you, the buyer and Reg Smart.

I confirm: The registration, or the vehicle or retention document it is on, is in MY name — or I have the permission of the registered keeper or the grantee to advertise and sell it.I confirm: I understand that Reg Smart will advertise my plate at my asking price PLUS a fee of 15% of the asking price, or £100, whichever is the greater, and that the advertised price will therefore be my price plus this fee. This is Reg Smart’s charge for advertising the plate, handling buyer enquiries and guiding the transfer.

No cost up front. We’ll confirm the details before anything goes live.

You can also email photos of the plate, the vehicle or your V778/V750 to Contact@RegSmart.net.

Clear from the start

How our fee works.

You tell us the price you want for the registration. We advertise it at that price plus our fee — 15% of your price, or £100, whichever is greater. So a plate you want £1,000 for is advertised at £1,150. You get your asking price; our fee is what we’re paid for advertising it, handling the enquiries and guiding the transfer.

A useful first check

Is my plate transferable?

Short version: a registration usually needs to be assigned to a vehicle or held on the right paperwork, and it needs to belong to you or be authorised by the person who holds it.

The registration must be currently assigned to a vehicle registered with DVLA, or already held on a retention document (V778). A V750 certificate of entitlement is the certificate you get when you buy a number that isn’t on a vehicle.

To take a number off a vehicle, the donor vehicle generally needs to be registered and taxed and, where applicable, have a valid MOT or be exempt.

The number must be in your name, or you must have permission from the registered keeper or the grantee to deal with it.

You cannot use a registration that would make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.

Some registrations — for example Q-plates and certain Northern Ireland numbers — can’t be transferred in the usual way.

Retention documents must be valid. The standard retention lasts ten years and can be renewed.

Every case is different and DVLA rules can change. We check the specifics for you before your plate goes live — if you’re unsure, just send it over and we’ll confirm.
