Can I sell my UK car here?

Hi there, Is it possible to sell my UK registered car in Ireland without registering it in Ireland? I’ve come back to Ireland to help my parents through Covid isolation as both are high risk and although I am able to work remotely here, I don’t know how long I will be here. I’m having problems getting insurance with UK provider over the standard 3 months thus reason for wanting to sell it. Any advice is welcome. Many thanks, Julie

Our answer:

Hi Julie,

I'm afraid not. You must go through the process of registering the car here before attempting to sell it.
