If your transferring it straight from the retention certificate, it is free, the transfer fee is included in the price of retention.

We've just done it, to put the retained private plate on my sister's Carrera 4.

i think you might get charged another fee to change retention to registered keeper.

The retenction cert will have an area to fill in to 'grant' the plate to a new owner.

No fee is payable as the fee was paid when the retention cert was issued.
