Personalised DVLA plates for your vehicle

We supply personalised number plates and private registrations for all eligible vehicle types across the UK. Whether you’re buying for your own car or on behalf of someone else, we ensure everything is registered correctly and legally.

Every private number plate we provide is processed through the DVLA and issued with the correct certificate of entitlement. Ownership records are completed accurately, and plates are either assigned to your vehicle or placed on retention, depending on your preference.

Our team checks each registration carefully to ensure it can be used, transferred, or assigned without complications.

Buying a private number plate: how it works

Buying a private plate doesn’t need to feel complicated. We’ve removed unnecessary steps so the process stays clear and stress-free.

You search for a registration number, choose the plate you want, and pay securely online. Once your purchase is complete, you receive your certificate and confirmation, and we take care of completing the DVLA transfer.

There’s no need to remember forms, chase updates, or wait longer than necessary. We handle the paperwork so your vehicle is ready as quickly as possible.

Types of number plates available

We offer a wide range of number plates to suit different vehicles, budgets, and personal interests. This includes modern personalised registrations, shorter private numbers, new plates, and dateless number plates that help hide a car’s age.

Some customers want a subtle private plate, while others are looking for something bold or meaningful. Our search tool makes it easy to explore different types and choose the option that fits best.

Cost and prices: what affects value?

Private number plate prices vary. The cost of a plate depends on factors like the registration mark, length, age, demand, and level of personalisation.

Rather than guessing, our online search shows live prices for every available plate. This lets you compare options instantly and understand what different registrations cost before you purchase.

If you’re looking for something more affordable, there are thousands of cheap private plates available too.

Certificates, entitlement and retention explained

Every purchase includes official DVLA documentation. This protects your ownership and gives you flexibility over how and when the plate is used.

You’ll receive a certificate of entitlement, and where required, the registration can be placed on retention. This allows you to assign the plate to a vehicle now or keep it safely for later without risk of losing ownership.

Documents are sent securely, either online or by post, and all records are completed correctly.

Buying vs retention: what’s the difference?

Here’s a table to help explain how plates are handled:

Both options are fully registered with the DVLA and include the correct certificate.

Selling a DVLA number plate

If you’d like to sell a private number plate, we also offer a secure selling service. We help sellers avoid complicated public listings by managing ownership checks, pricing guidance, and DVLA paperwork.

You can start by checking what your registration might be worth through number plate valuation, then decide whether to list it for sale through our platform.

Security, compliance and peace of mind

We follow strict DVLA rules to ensure every registration, transfer, and assignment is completed correctly. This helps protect buyer and seller interests and ensures vehicle, tax, and insurance company records remain accurate.

Our systems check registrations before completing, confirm vehicle eligibility, and ensure ownership records are never lost or misused.
