How much is my registration worth?

The best way to find out is to request a free no obligation valuation, right here on our website.

Yes sometimes, but it depends on the letters/numbers. We will provide an outright purchase value if the registration suits our ‘stock’ requirements at the time.

What other costs are involved when buying?

On all transfers, an £80 DVLA transfer fee applies. On Government stock and company owned private registrations, VAT is also applicable. The complete CarReg Transfer service (£25) and physical acrylic number plates (£22) are optional and can be added at checkout.

How long does it take?

Generally for us to supply the actual perspex plate it 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.

Number Plates: Adding a Personalised Touch to Your Vehicle

In today’s world, personalisation has become a key aspect of our lives. From customising our smartphones to tailoring our social media profiles, we seek unique ways to express our individuality. This desire for personalisation extends even to our vehicles, where personalised number plates have gained immense popularity. These custom plates allow drivers to showcase their personality, interests, or even their names on their cars, creating a distinct and memorable statement.

Personalised number plates, also known as private number plates, personal reg, personal registration, personal number plates, or personal registrations, offer a myriad of benefits and are much more than a mere combination of letters and numbers on a metal plate. Personalised number plates have become a popular way for people to express their individuality on the road. These plates allow drivers to customise their vehicle’s registration numbers, incorporating names, words, or combinations of letters and numbers that hold personal significance to the owner. Whether it’s a clever play on words, a sentimental message, or simply an attention-grabbing combination, personal reg plates have captured the attention of many motorists worldwide.

Advantages of Private Number Plates

First and foremost, private number plates allow you to stand out from the crowd. In a sea of vehicles, having a custom plate instantly sets your car apart and makes it easily recognisable. Whether you opt for your initials, a memorable phrase, or a clever wordplay, private plates give your vehicle a unique identity that reflects your personality. It’s an excellent way to make a statement and leave a lasting impression wherever you go.

Moreover, private number plates offer a touch of exclusivity. By investing in a custom plate, you can own a combination that no one else has. It’s a way to create a sense of rarity and uniqueness, showcasing your individuality in a tangible and eye-catching manner. This exclusivity also appeals to collectors and enthusiasts who see private number plates as a valuable addition to their car collections.

Another advantage of private number plates is the opportunity to incorporate sentimental or meaningful elements. Many individuals choose to display their names, birthdates, or important milestones on their plates. For example, a couple celebrating their wedding anniversary may opt for a plate that features their special date. This personal touch adds a sentimental value to the vehicle and becomes a cherished part of their life’s story.

Branding with Number Plates Number plates can act as a form of advertising or branding. Businesses often utilise custom number plates to promote their products or services, as they provide a unique and memorable way to display their company name or logo. A number plate can serve as a mobile billboard, attracting attention and creating brand recognition wherever the vehicle travels. Our company "CarReg" now also have a QR code added to the rear and sides of our company cars, each car has totally exclusive single letter, single number plates.
Investing in Private Number Plates In addition to personal expression, private number plates have also become a form of investment. Rare or highly sought-after combinations can appreciate in value over time, making them attractive to collectors and investors. The exclusivity and limited availability of certain combinations make them desirable among those who see number plates as a long-term asset. For example, in the UK, some cherished number plates have been known to sell for significant sums of money at auction, often fetching prices that exceed the value of the vehicles themselves.
