DVLC Numberplates

DVLC Numberplates should really be known as DVLA plates since the name was changed in 1988, when several government agencies were created. More facts and figures are available in DVLA Information, DVLC and Number plates if you are interested.

If you are driving a vehicle registered in England, Scotland or Wales, you will be identified by a DVLA issued number plate. In general, such marks reflect the year of manufacture and the area of issue. However, because some people wish to personalise their vehicle, it is possible to choose a mark (subject to availability) which can indicate your name, initials etc. However, the golden rule is that you can't use a registration to make your vehicle appear newer than it is - another regulation is that you can't mis-space a plate in order to make a word or a name.

We pride ourselves in trying to achieve a very well run business. To this end we decided that we would try to achieve an award that is recognised by industry throughout Europe. We prepared to try and gain the quality award BSI 9001 2000. National Numbers managed to do this at its first attempt. The Chairman, Eric Craggs, had previously worked as a manager at ICI for 30 years and had been involved in trying to get businesses within ICI to get this award. We have had the award for six years. For the last two years, BSI have required us to conduct a formal customer survey - we are the only company within the DVLA number plate business to do so. Please look at our Testimonials to see what they think. You may think that a lot of web sites just make up their feedback, a lot do, but we are actually audited by a British Standard Quality Expert to verify that our customer comments are genuine.
