I've just sold a personal plate of mine, which is currently on retention, to a friend of mine. Reading the certificate, and all the notes on the back – and looking at the DVLA website – I can't for the life of me work out how to transfer the ownership of the plate. It won't be going on a vehicle yet, so needs to remain on retention.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

Re: Selling a reg number on retention
I believe you just sign the form, and hand it to him under the 'transfer' category. He then just uses the form when he wants to register a car with it

Sell or give a private number to someone else
You can sell or give a private (personalised) number to someone. The number must be assigned to their vehicle before they can use it.
If you’re giving a number to someone, follow the steps for assigning your private number to someone else.
Selling your private number
You can use a private number dealer or sell your number yourself.
Do not share a photograph or scan of the V750 or V778 document. Someone other than the buyer might use it to put the private number on another vehicle.
Use a private number dealer
Most dealers will find a buyer, arrange the payment and transfer the number to the buyer’s vehicle for you.
Sell your private number yourself
After you find a buyer, you’ll need to assign your number to their vehicle. Follow the steps for assigning your private number to someone else.
Assign your private number to someone else
You can put your private number on someone else’s vehicle online or by post.
After that, DVLA will send a replacement log book for the vehicle but with the new private number assigned to it.

You’ll need details from:
the log book (V5C) of the vehicle you’re assigning the number to
your V778 or V750
The number will usually be assigned immediately.
