DVLA Number Plates – DVLA Registrations

The DVLA is the organisation of UK Government responsible for maintaining a database of drivers and a database of vehicles in Great Britain; its counterpart in Northern Ireland is the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) for Irish number plates. The DVLA issues driving licenses, organises collection of vehicle excise duty (also known as road tax and road fund license) and sells “DVLA number plates” (private number plates). The DVLA started selling private plates in the late eighties holding high value auctions at Christies and Bonhams selling number plates like 1J, 1A, K1 NGS (£240,000). The most expensive number sold at a DVLA personalised registrations auction is 51 NGH which raised £245,000 whilst S1 NGH “only” made £86,000 during a similar auction in 1998. Since then the DVLA have played a major role within the personalised registrations industry releasing millions of new private plates into the UK vehicle registrations system. Today, Carreg are DVLA number plate resellers, you can buy cheap number plates here.  More DVLA and DVLA number plates information….

Official DVLA Registered Reseller Of DVLA Personalised Registrations

Vehicle Registrations

Although the term number plates is the commonly used for what we sell, it is not actually the correct definition of our main product: Vehicle Registrations.

Car number plates are merely the perspex plates fitted to your car bearing the registration mark of your vehicle. There are lots of names used for private registrations in the UK. Read the pages under 'Number plate Info' in the main menu to find out all about these; Personalised plates, Current plates, Prefix, Suffix and Dateless number plates. Or if you want to upgrade from your current private registration plate visit our private number plates page.

The DVLA

The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) is the branch of the UK Government responsible for managing driving licences and vehicle DVLA registrations within Great Britain (including maintaining a database of licenced drivers and registered vehicles). Its counterpart in Northern Ireland is the Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA).

As well as issuing DVLA number plates, the DVLA administers driving endorsements and penalty points, transfers car registration numbers and organises the collection of vehicle excise duty (also known as road tax and road fund license).

Car Registrations

All car registrations we supply from the 'Make Your Own Car Registrations' section are brand new and have never previously been on a vehicle. We have over 38,000,000 private car registrations you can choose from with most prefix letters still available from only £179!
