There are a couple of scenarios in which you may need to change a vehicle’s registration number. Here are a few examples:

1. When a customer changes the vehicle’s original registration number and there is history attached to it in Garage Hive (Adding/Removing a private plate); when the history needs to remain with this vehicle.
2. A customer who has a new vehicle but would like to transfer the registration number from another vehicle (Transferring a private plate).

In this article, we will look through both scenarios so that you can keep your records accurate.
