What is a retention document?
A number can be transferred from a vehicle onto a retention document at a cost of £105 (£80 of this is the advance payment for when the number is assigned to a vehicle) The keeper of the donor vehicle will be shown as the grantee and a nominee name may be added. The number may be assigned to a vehicle in either of these names. Certificates are valid for 12 months, but can be extended for a further 12 months at a cost of £25. Only the grantee has the right to renew a certificate or change the nominee. Title passes to the nominee when the number is assigned to their vehicle.
