Where you sell your vehicle privately, you, as the seller, and the buyer of the vehicle, must complete and sign the change of ownership section on the reverse of the Vehicle Registration Certificate (VRC). It is the responsibility of the seller to send the VRC to us for updating.
We will post a VRC to the new owner.
Where you sell your vehicle to a motor dealer, you must give the dealer the Vehicle Registration Certificate/ Vehicle Licensing Certificate and complete Form RF105, along with the dealer. The Garage Identity Code must be included on the form for it to be processed. You should then send the signed RF105 to us for updating. Form RF105 is available here.
