Car registration how long does it last?

Answer 1

Usually the license plate lasts as long as you own the car, or transfer it to another car. The registration of the plate is usually renewed yearly and you will add the sticker to the license plate. You risk impoundment if you do not keep this up to date -- keep your address up to date and you will regularly receive notification.

Answer 2

In the UK a new registration number is allocated to all new cars.

The registration usually stays with the vehicle until it is scrapped.
