I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that when a registration number is assigned to a vehicle it remains with that vehicle until the vehicle's end-of-life or export under the Export Repayment Scheme. In the example provided in the details supplied, the registration number could be resurrected but could only be used on the vehicle to which it had originally been assigned (for example, where a vehicle was taken out of the State and is returning). A registration number previously assigned to one vehicle cannot be transferred to or re-used on a different vehicle.
