V317 Transfer Form

The form required to effect a transfer from one vehicle to another or from a vehicle to a certificate of retention is known as a

V317

. In the case of a

vehicle to vehicle transfer

the donor and the recipient must each sign the document in the relevant place. Where a

registration number

is being transferred from a vehicle to a

certificate of retention

the donor/grantee alone must sign. At this stage it is possible to elect for a grantee to be chosen who differs from the registered keeper of the donor vehicle, if that is required.
