Testimonials
I've always wanted a cherished number plate but thought I couldn't afford it. I was pleasantly surprised at the prices and purchased my plate entirely online. Everything from start to finish was efficient and my plates arrived in less than a week. They handled everything for me and my plates will be on my car in less than a month after my first enquiry.
National numbers have provided me with a great service all the staff are helpful and keep you informed by email. Many thanks.
Just got off the phone to the boss, Eric, and he has said he would do his best to source a number plate for me for my partners 30th Birthday. After a month of searching other sites and speaking to other customer service representatives etc. Eric was definitely the most helpful.
I've just bought a plate from National Numbers everything went really smooth from enquiry to completion. The service was excellent and the staff very helpful. My car now looks complete with my cherished plate. Thanks again to everyone at National Numbers. I would definitely recommend you.

Superb, could not be simpler, better or more efficient, I registered my old plate with National numbers after they gave me a very good valuation and left it with them. Jill contacted me just after Christmas and asked if the plate was still available, she kindly explained there was interest in it and would I accept a figure she gave me, I agreed and said I would be more than happy, and the rest so they say is history... superb service!
I purchased my cherished number some twenty years ago to enhance what already was my prize jewel. It not only depicted the exact model of Ferrari but also reflected precisely my initials. How cool is that?! Having now changed my car, it's time to let someone else enjoy this unique number, whilst I replace it with another cherished number from the organisation that is renowned for not only offering the very best cherished numbers on the market, but also at the best value prices. Thank you National Numbers.
Bought and sold from this company and the service was very very good regarding advice and guiding your way through the maze that is the number plate world.

Was quite hesitant to buy, as I would have preferred to buy directly from the gov website but after reading reviews and speak to a member of staff, who was friendly and professional I was comfortable and am happy to have bought with national numbers. Thanks
