Buying a private registration

Choose your registration

Browse the available registrations and check the spelling, spacing and price. Registration rights and manufactured physical plates are separate purchases.

Check vehicle eligibility

A registration cannot be used to make a vehicle look newer than it is. Before buying, check whether the registration can be assigned to your vehicle or held on the appropriate certificate.

Read the DVLA guidance or contact The Plate Dealer on 07466 288265 to discuss your circumstances.

Purchase and transfer

Check the total payable and the applicable sale terms before completing checkout. Payment alone does not authorise you to display the registration. Follow the required assignment process and wait for confirmation before fitting plates.

Do not publish or send unsolicited photographs of V750 or V778 certificates. Contact the team to arrange the information needed for your transfer.

Physical plates

Already own the registration? Configure physical plates and request a quote. The supplier must check your entitlement and the complete specification before manufacture.
