Plates Compared

What is the difference between Personalised Plates and Private Number Plates? Find out all you need to know.

Personalised Plates

Personalised number plates are mainly personal to the main driver the vehicle. This also makes them great personalised gifts.

Example Reg: JON 777

Benefit
Prices are normally lower starting from only £155.

Drawback
You will easily be recognised (if you are hiding)!

Private Number Plates

Private number plates are normally sold to drivers who like the vehicle to look more prestigious or sporty, rather than being personal to the driver.

Example Reg: XXX 777

Benefit
They are normally better investments.

Drawback
The driver will be less recognisable.

The Verdict

In a recent CarReg survey, results found that it really is just down to personal choice. So it’s up to you - go private or go personalised!

Can the number plate A640 LAM go onto any vehicle?

This number plate can only be transferred onto a vehicle first registered on or after 1st August 1983. However if you are not putting it onto a vehicle, it can be held on the DVLA certificate provided for 10 years.

Can I buy this number plate as a gift?

Yes, of course! All registrations can be supplied for you to gift to the lucky recipient. Simply name them as the “Nominee” on the easy order page. You can also purchase the physical number plates from us to present to the person you are buying for. Private number plates have long been popular personalised gifts for any occasion which can last a lifetime.

What happens to my original registration?

Your original registration makes way for the new one and DVLA keep this aside for reallocation if you decide to take the personalised registration off the vehicle. If the original registration is of value and you wish to keep it, for example to use on another car, then you must retain it first online, paying a DVLA fee of £80. This can be done on the .GOV website (Google “Take registration off vehicle”).

How long does it take?

Generally for us to supply the actual number plates will only take a few days. We can supply a V750 certificate (ready for online transfer) in your requested name within 5 working days. If you want us to transfer your new number plate to your vehicle for you, this can generally be done within ten days (or quicker). Times are getting faster as the DVLA increase the number of online applications.

I don't have a vehicle, can I still buy the number number plate?

Yes you can! In the majority of cases you can hold the registration number on a Certificate for up to 10 years from the date of purchase, and transfer it to a vehicle once you have one available to receive it. If you are in the process of buying a vehicle and are due to receive your V5C document, then you can supply the details to us upon receipt of the document from the DVLA in your name and address.
