Registered Owner/Keeper?

[lynniepie]

I have just bought a new car. I work with my family and we bought it through the business (which is in my Mum's name). When it comes to insuring it, and I am asked who is the registered keeper, is it myself or does the insurance go in Mum's name and I am a named driver? I also have a private number plate to go on the car. Does this also go in Mum's name or can it go in mine?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The registered keeper is whoever's name appears on the blue V5 vehicle registration form.

Anyone can buy a private plate, they are the 'grantee' and can have it put on a vehicle of theirs. For an extra �25 they can add a 'nominee' to the certificate which would enable you to go to the local DVLA office with your documents and have the plate put on your car.

Clear as mud. Hope this helps!

Furthermore the insurance HAS to go in your name if you are the main driver. i.e. the one who drives it the most.

Thank you both for your replies.
