FAQs.
Common questions about buying private plates.
A private (personalised) number plate is a registration you choose yourself. It lets you customise your vehicle with a reg that's personal to you — your name, initials, a word, or a number that means something special. Private plates can be a great way to express individuality and can become a valuable investment over time.
Search our selection of over 71 million plates, find one you love, and complete your purchase through our secure checkout. We then handle the DVLA paperwork for you via our Reg Transfer Service. Transfers are usually completed within 7–10 working days. New to private plates?

No documents are needed to buy. If you want to transfer your plate to a vehicle, we'll ask for a photo of your V5C (logbook) and a couple of MOT details — that's it. Our Reg Transfer Service handles the rest.
Almost! The main rule is that your plate cannot make your vehicle appear newer than it is. The age identifier on the plate must not be more recent than your vehicle's original registration date. All our plates are fully BS AU 145e compliant.
99% of the time, using our Reg Transfer Service, the process takes about 7–10 working days. For second-hand registrations on retention, it can take 3–4 weeks as the DVLA processes hard-copy documents. We keep you updated every step of the way.
