Yes you can, you pay$1,300 to retain your number for 12 months,  after which, you will have to  pay $1,000 for every 6 months .

just buy another car to transfer over or transfer to your exisitng "new" car. Paying $1000 every 6 months is no joke.😄

one time $1300 is better than lifetime $1000 every 6 months.

when u send direct to scrap yard then take out no issue, but if u trade in for new car etc send to AD like maybe borneo motor, cycle and carriage or PI then can only request as the plate still need to be on before it reaches the yard (most likely they will reject).

Can. Just need to tell the salesperson. I did that when I traded in my first car. Or you could do it yourself on the day you trade in your car. Just unclip the holder or frame using a a prying tool.

Correct, when you send in your car to scrapyard, can ask the people at scrapyard to remove one of the car plate from the car and pass it to you. But they can only give you one car plate, either front or back. But if you trade in your car to agent and the agent would drive the car away, not easy to get back the car plate, cause the dealer high chance would not remember your request to take out the car plate de.

The last I check onemotoring, I chose the deregistered car and retain licence plate online. I was brought to a page where I have to just pay $100.

For a scrapped/deregistered car,  just pay upfront $100 in order to retain the licence plate for 12 months.

When a new car is bought & registered within the next 12 months, the retained licence number can be used on the new car, with zero additional fees.

its $1300, upfront.  only if you transfer to a brand new car within 14days will it be $100.

If you just want the physical plate, you can always make another one and keep that. It's cheap. Or swap it out before scrap if the old plate has more sentimental value.

Okay, great to have all your responses guys. Appreciate it! At least I know that there are people like me who have done it before and it is not against the law!

And yes I meant to take out the physical car plate and keep it for sentimental purpose.
