Number plate certificate of entitlement information

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

The range includes certain registration marks held back by the DVLA when various year letter identifier number plates were released. For example, with reference to the A to H prefix marks, the numbers one through twenty were never issued back in the 1980's as there was no fair way of allocating them.

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

The following articles describe the regulations pertaining to entitlement certificates.
