Can I sell my numberplate?

So long as you own the vehicle on which the numberplate is currently assigned, or so long as you appear as the "grantee" or "purchaser" on the retention document- you are legally entitled to sell your numberplate.

You must ensure that neither on your V5 logbook nor the retention document that the words NON TRANSFERRABLE appear next to the number as in this case the DVLA have prohibited the transfer of your plate.

If your numberplate is currently on a vehicle then in order to remove the plate and either place it on retention or transfer to another vehicle you will need to ensure the vehicle has current tax + mot and adheres to the criteria for cherished transfers as laid down by the DVLA.
