Within the UK number plate industry, both prefix registrations and current registrations are known as DVLA number plates because they’re issued by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). The first style used a prefix letter (like “A”) followed by a number and three letters. The current style uses two letters, two numbers (identifying the date of issue), and three letters.

Your gateway to the prestigious world of Private Plates

Since CarReg’s founding in 1988, our passion and specialty has been private number plates. Many plates we’ve bought and sold over the past three decades hold unique stories.

Exclusivity matters. The most sought-after combinations, often single letters and single numbers, rarely change hands and are typically unavailable for purchase. As a result, these “special” private plates generally command higher prices, often starting above £1,000.

Start your search today and discover the perfect private plate to elevate your vehicle, make a lasting statement, and stand out from the crowd!

The DVLA is responsible for maintaining over 45 million driver records and 37 million active vehicle records. DVLA’s key purpose is to ensure that accurate registers of drivers and vehicles are held and that the registers are made accessible to those who have the right to use them. The DVLA also works closely with other government departments including The Home Office & The Ministry of Justice. All vehicle registration transfers (including retention applications) are conducted by the DVLA.

DVLA Retention Scheme

It is an offence to alter, rearrange or misrepresent the numbers and letters on a number plate to form names or words, or in a way that makes it difficult to read the registration number. For example, you should not use fixing bolts to change any of letters or numbers. Anyone with a number plate that does not display the registration number correctly could be fined. In some cases, the registration number may be withdrawn. You cannot use a registration number to make your vehicle appear younger.

DVLA Regulations
