My vehicle has a “Q” prefix registration number. Can it participate in the transfer and retention schemes?
Sorry, no. Vehicles are assigned “Q” prefix registration numbers to draw attention to the fact that their origins or age are uncertain. “Q” numbers are therefore non-transferable and must remain with the vehicle unless documentary evidence which confirms its origins / age comes to light. In this case, the evidence should be sent to your nearest VRO who may then assign a replacement age-related number to the vehicle.

My V5 registration document says my registration number is non-transferable. Can I transfer a cherished number onto my vehicle? A. Yes. Although you cannot transfer or retain a non-transferable number, the vehicle can receive a registration number providing the non-transferable number is not a “Q” mark and providing the vehicle meets the normal conditions of the Sales, Transfer and Retention schemes. Q. I have seen Northern Ireland registration numbers advertised. Can I transfer one onto my vehicle? A. Yes, providing the donor and recipient vehicles are registered at DVL
