How do I buy a plate?
Search
Use the search box at the top of the page to search for your name, your initials, your car - anything you wish! We have millions of plates to choose from.
Check suitability
Registrations have age identifiers tied to release dates. DVLA prohibits using younger-looking registrations on vehicles; older ones can be transferred to newer ones.
Purchase
Configure your options, and pay online by debit or credit card. You can then choose to receive the certificate, or for us to assign the registration straight to your vehicle.
Fit your plate
If you bought physical plates, use the screws or sticky pads (available with your purchase) to fit your new plate.
