Questions? We have answers!

How much is a private registration plate?

One of the more popular FAQs we get asked is about the cost of a new private number plate. Often thought of as the sole preserve of the wealthy; private number plates actually cover a vast range of prices for different plate styles - starting from as little as £196 (including all government fees), moving upwards to some extraordinary figures. We have plates to suit all buyers budgets.

How to transfer a vehicle registration

Private number plates exist in one of two states - on a vehicle, or on a certificate. We have guides you can follow if you want to move a registration from a vehicle to a certificate (a process known as "retention"), if you're looking to move a registration from a certificate onto a vehicle (the action termed "assignment"), or if you're looking for details on how to move a private number plate from one vehicle to another.

How to register a private number plate

When you purchase a private number plate from National Numbers, the DVLA transfer fee is included in the price. This means you can register the number plate to a suitable vehicle at your convenience at no further cost. This can usually be done online, or we can assign it on your behalf.

How much is my private number plate worth?

You can use our online, FREE, no obligation number plate valuation system and we'll tell you instantly how much we think your number plate is worth.

How to change my private number plate

If you no longer want to display your private number on a vehicle, you can apply to take it off. This process will put the registration on a V778 document, proving you have retained the right to the registration and are able to use it again later.
