Brokerage

ShortReg can administer the sale of personalised registrations for both sellers and buyers to give both parties the surety needed including money transfer through our escrow account. Thorough checks are made before concluding the exchange.

Our brokerage charge is £75+vat

Negotiating on behalf

We are always ready to enter negotiations on your behalf as a buyer if you find a personalised registration with another dealer, whether DVLA recognised reseller or private sole trader. We have a history of saving buyers £1000s through our industry connections.

The charge for this service is £50+vat.

Donor Bike

If you have found a personalised registration to buy but are not quite ready to transfer it to your vehicle, we can help. If the registration is currently assigned to a vehicle we can retain it onto a 10-year retention certificate for you. You can assign it to your vehicle entirely online through the DVLA service. Once it has been assigned to your vehicle there are no ongoing costs and it’s in your name.

However, if the seller holds the registration on a certificate then the process is different. There are data protection issues to consider and the DVLA prevents the change of ownership of retention certificates. To safely transfer the sole rights of a registration held on a certificate over to you, we can assign it to one of our bikes and then retain it onto a 10-year retention certificate in your name. Once you receive it on the retention certificate you can assign or ask us to assign to your vehicle entirely online. We don’t transfer your new personalised registration onto the vehicle of your trusted friend or relative for security reasons.

The charge for using our donor bike is £100+vat and includes the DVLA retention fee.
