Buying A Number Plate

Search for your Plate

Use the Create Your Plate Registration Search to look for the plate that brings your name, company name, initials or some other aspect of your personal identity to life. It’s been built to give you the best possible help in finding a really great plate.

You can search on your 3 initials, your name if it is JON, BOB, KAY etc, or a shortened form of your name like JAK.

EXPERIMENT

Often, the best plate for you won’t be the most obvious one.

Paying for your New Registration

If, when you’ve searched our database, you’ve come up with the perfect registration for you, or with the ideal registration to buy for someone as a gift, you will be taken to a payment screen to enter your credit card details. We take internet security very seriously indeed, and our order form uses the securest possible current technologies.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Switch, Visa Delta and Solo payment cards.
When ordering your plate, please note that you must provide details of the registered keeper of the vehicle to which you plan to attach it. You will be unable to have the plate registered to the vehicle if there is any discrepancy between the current registration document and the Certificate of Entitlement issued when you purchase the new registration.

If you intend to have the registration put on a new vehicle at purchase, it is imperative that the details you supply to us match those you have given to the garage you’re buying the vehicle from. (For example, if you enter your full name when you order your vehicle, then you should also give your full name when you order the registration from us.)

Transferring your Registration

Once we’ve successfully processed your order, we’ll write to you. This will generally be about one week after you placed the order. Where the registration is one which we hold on a DVLA Certificate of Entitlement, we’ll send this to you with easy to follow details of how to transfer the registration to your vehicle, and a list of the DVLA offices through which you can do this.

Where the registration is not held on a Certificate, we’ll ask you to send us your logbook and insurance documents, so that we can arrange the transfer for you.

There are no further costs associated with the transfer. The price we quoted for your registration included all costs involved in transferring the registration to your vehicle. The only thing you still have to pay for is the cost of the actual plastic plates.

Once you receive your Create Your Plate Purchase Pack, you should obtain a set of replacement number plates from your local motor spares shop, bearing your new registration. We recommend Halfords for this service, but most motor accessory shops will be able to assist you.

Since January 2003, the law has stipulated that in order to purchase registration plates you must provide not only proof of entitlement, but also proof of your identity. Further information about this will be included when we write to you.
