Certificates of Entitlement

Selected personalised number plates are available on DVLA certificates (a V750 document).

This includes registration marks held back by the DVLA over the years. For example, with A to H prefix marks, the numbers one through twenty were never issued back in the 1980s, as there was no fair way of allocating them.

Also issued on V750 are the personal registration marks for sale through DVLA auctions.

The following articles describe the regulations about entitlement certificates.
