Because of a change in the way that the registration of motor vehicles took place some while ago it is now possible, within certain limits, to buy a number plate of your choice which can reflect your initials, that of your company or it can make up a name, or nickname. This can be achieved through the use of numbers which can look like letters, which is ok as long as the registration number can be correctly read and identified by the authorities.

A number of companies exist that specialise in the sale of private number plates and it is perfectly legal to buy one of the number plates that are for sale at these sites. However, whatever you buy has to be cleared through the DVLA or in Northern Ireland the DVA. Both of these agencies have millions of number plates for sale and accessing them is easy. At the DVLA it is possible to make up a new style number using the two letters then the year number followed by three random letters of your choice. These number plates can be assigned to your own vehicle as long as this is newer than the year depicted on the number plate
Many of these number plates for sale are low in price, from as little as x245 which includes VAT and x80 assignment fee. That means there is nothing else to pay except for the costs of having the actual physical plates made up, there are absolutely no hidden charges.

In addition to this style of plate the DVLA has thousands of combinations of number plate which are for sale, and the prices for these are clearly indicated when you access them. They also hold a number of D, F and X prefix number plates with defined numbers with random letters following, often you can suggest your own initials, which if still available will be sold to you at the price which is indicated. It has never been easier to have a personalised registration number for your motor vehicle.
