Frequently Asked Questions
A private number plate (also called a personalised registration) is a vehicle registration that you choose rather than being assigned one. You can transfer it to your car and keep it for life, even moving it between vehicles.
Simply search for your ideal combination using our search tool, select your plate, choose your bundle (transfer only or with physical plates), and complete the secure checkout. We handle all the DVLA paperwork on your behalf.
A fully managed transfer typically takes 2-4 weeks once all documents are received. We keep you updated throughout the process and handle all correspondence with the DVLA directly.
Yes, in most cases you can — but you will need written permission from your finance provider. We recommend contacting them first. Our team can advise you on the process once you have their approval.
The DVLA charges a fixed fee of £80 for all private registration transfers. This is included in our checkout pricing so there are no surprises.
Many private registrations — particularly short dateless plates, cherished combinations, and name plates — have historically increased in value year on year. Like any investment, values vary, but rare plates have consistently outperformed many traditional asset classes.
