No! The number is registered to the particular car and it can not be done twice unless of course, you go to another state other than the one of first issue. This is another issue for a later date. Our lack of a central Database!

When the new number plates came into existence ,that was the general feeling as your driver's license was attached to your documentations.

I tried to retain one fine Abuja ABC number and was told the cost of changing the information in the system would convieniently get me another one with change on top sef.

The plate number is registered to your name and to the brand of vehicle you owned. But once sold, it still becomes yours but useless.

Useless?

it can be used to register another vehicle u acquired pls, not useless.

I do this for clients on regular basis!

also it is not a prob if d no is engraved on the vehicle, as d registration will indicate the old no as well as d new no!

obviously, most posters here ve no idea abt vehicle registrations!

1. Yes u can sell your vehicle without your no plate.
2. Yes you can equally use the no plate to register any other vehicle of yours.
@ the point of sale, you hand over all original vehicle documents to the buyer so he can process his change of ownership and re registration of already registered vehicle after which he returns your original allocation of registration no, prove of ownership certificate and vehicle license.
As soon as you're ready for your own registration, you take those documents and the no plate to the nearest mvaa station for registration of existing no plate.

Advantage: it's cheaper.

Demrich:

Ehm

What if the plate numbers are already engraved on the car windows, windscreen as is common. It might not be worth it.

HtwoOw:
That was the selling point when they introduced the new number

but i doubt it's real

drpossibilities:
It is possible. I just did same last week. I was using a Honda City and then I bought an Acura MDX. I sold the City without the plate number and transferred the Plate No. to the Acura. It cost me just N30,000 rather than the N48,000 it would have cost me to get a new plate number. Carregng does it for N35,000.

shotuns:
If you are the seller and the car was registered in your name, you can retain the plate number and register it again on your new car.
If you are the buyer, get the original car docimemts from the seller and do a change of ownership, remember the previous owner must give a consent Letter ,proof of purchase to effect a change, now in your own name. All new documents bears your name.
Also more importantly, if the car has been tinted, you must apply for a new tinted permit in your name to correspond with your new car document information. A tinted permit isn't renewable,not transferable, you only get it once and for a particular car. But if the car has no tint,then you are good to go.
