They are:
- The certificate of entitlement (V750)
- The retention document (V778)
The certificate of entitlement (V750) has the purchaser named at the top of the certificate and they hold the rights to the registration number.
The retention document (V778) has the grantee named at the top of the certificate and they hold the rights to the registration number.
