Get a FREE valuation
Firstly request a free valuation online, supplying us some basic information about your number plate and we'll provide you with a value we think we'd sensibly be able to achieve from a sale.
Modify price as required
If you're not happy with that figure - perhaps you already have a price in mind - no problem, you can adjust our valuation (up or down) to your liking.
Begin promotion
We'll begin promoting your private registration for sale on our website and through a number of other channels. You're now free to manage your asking price and the availability of your registration online - and that's all we ask of you, to keep us in the loop if anything changes. Sold the plate elsewhere? Changed your mind about selling? No takers at your current asking price, and willing to adjust it somewhat? Keep us posted!
Complete the sale
Once we've found a buyer we'll be in touch. Having National Numbers as a middleman keeps both parties safe - your registration won't be transferred to the buyer until monies are received, and the buyers payment remains secure until we can confirm the registration is transferable.

Number Plate Formats
Since The Motor Act of 1903, number plates have been compulsory on vehicles driven on UK roads. However, to accommodate the sheer volume of traffic on UK roads over the past century or so, not all number plates follow the same format. From dateless number plates to suffix registrations, prefix plates and modern day, "millennium" style plates, you can view all the different formats of number plates in the UK below.
Active on vehicles from 1903 - 1962 and now often referred to as cherished registrations, dateless number plates featured letters to distinguish from which region it was released, followed by a unique number for vehicle identification purposes.
Active on vehicles from 1963 - 1982, suffix reg start with the area code as letters. This is followed by up to three random numbers to identify the vehicle, followed finally by an age identifying letter.
For vehicles between 1983 and 2001, prefix number plates start with a single letter age identifier, which is followed by up to three random numbers. Finally, the area code is three letters long, and are the last characters on the reg.
Running from 2001 to the present day, these new reg plates start with a two letter area code, followed by two numbers that act as an age identifier. Three random letters come next, separated with a space.
