Form V778/1 is used in the United Kingdom for the Retention of a Vehicle Registration Number. This form allows a vehicle keeper to retain a registration number separately from the vehicle for a period of up to 12 months. The form is commonly used when someone wishes to hold onto a number plate for future use on another vehicle. To retain the registration number, the vehicle must be registered with the DVLA, and the keeper must ensure that the vehicle is roadworthy and properly licensed.
The retention period is initially 12 months, and it can be extended for an additional 12 months for a fee. If the registration number is not assigned to a new vehicle within the retention period, entitlement to the number is lost. If the vehicle is sold or disposed of before the retention period ends, the entitlement to the number passes to the new keeper.
Note: Form V317 has replaced Form V778/1 for retaining or transferring a vehicle registration number. Please ensure to use Form V317 for any related transactions with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
