Private number plates, personalised number plates or cherished number plates as they are sometimes known, are registration marks that have been applied to a vehicle to replace the default registration that it carries.
You can buy a private number plate for your vehicle from National Numbers. Our number plate search enables you to quickly find the registration of your choice; you can then securely buy online - many of our registrations come with the option of 0% finance payment plans - or call our knowledgeable and friendly sales staff on 01642 363738.
There are a selection of number plate formats to choose from. The golden rule is that you can make your vehicle look as old as you like when assigning a private plate to it, but not one day younger. So if you had a 51 reg vehicle (from 2001), you can put any reg onto it that has been issued up to that date. You couldn't put a 54 series reg (from 2004) on it as it would make your vehicle look newer.
The range of formats to choose from include :
| Dateless Reg | Issued up to 1963 | Carry no year identifier, so can be assigned to any roadworthy vehicle. |
| Suffix Reg | Issued from 1963 to 1982 | Three letters, one, two or three digits, then a year identifying letter. |
| Prefix Reg | Issued from 1983 to 2001 | A year identifying letter, one, two or three digits, then three more letters. |
| New Style Reg | Issued from 2001 onwards | Two letters, a pair of year identifying digits, then three more letters. |
Changing your current registration to a private number plate is very straightforward.
Well, price range is an important consideration. At National Numbers we treat clients with modest budgets the same way as those where price is no object. Our web site is intended to supply you with imaginative search suggestions to inspire you and, don't forget, we offer 0% finance on most private number plates.
Often, if you are after a cheap number plate, a good place to start is to search for your initials and then pair them with a prefix letter. Please remember - you can't apply a registration to your vehicle if it makes it appear newer, you can only use registrations of the same age as your vehicle or older. Our search system allows you to filter those private plates that are unsuitable based on the age of the vehicle you will be using.
Another important source of low cost plates are Irish number plates which start from £138. These private plates originate in Northern Ireland, and can be established as such because they always contain an "I" or "Z" in the letters - but they have no visible year identifier. As they're effectively 'dateless', this means these private registrations can be assigned to any roadworthy vehicle, regardless of it's age.
Of course, if you have more to spend, then you can use our database to search for your name or your initials represented as a cherished plate with just one or two numbers and no year letter.
