Looking for a private number plate that suits your style, budget and taste? At Primo Registrations we make it simple: our search tools allow you to browse and filter thousands of registrations based on type, style, and price — so you can find exactly the plate you want.

Select from Multiple Plate Styles

Whether you have a preference for a classic look, a modern registration, or something truly unique — our site lets you filter by style. You’ll see categories such as:

• Prefix style plates — the classic registration layout popular in the 1980s and 1990s, ideal if you want a vintage?era feel. Use our Prefix Plates Search to explore these options.
• Current style plates — the modern age?based plates currently issued, available via our Current Plates Search.
• Suffix style plates — older registrations still available privately, viewable using our Suffix Plates Search filter.
• Dateless number plates — highly sought?after timeless plates that do not indicate vehicle age, available under the Dateless Plates Search.
• Northern Ireland plates — distinctive plates from Northern Ireland, searchable through our Northern Ireland Plates Search.

Each of these categories is clearly displayed on the site, so you can quickly jump to the style you prefer. It’s a great way to narrow down options if you have a certain era, region or aesthetic in mind.

Set Your Budget — Affordable or Premium Plates

Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly option or a premium cherished plate, our website’s search interface lets you set a price range that works for you. Just enter your maximum (and optionally minimum) spend — and the results will reflect plates within your budget.

This is especially useful if you know how much you want to spend upfront and don’t want to sort through plates outside your price range. From lower-cost current style plates to investment?grade dateless or rare versions — you control the spend.

What Happens if Your Ideal Plate Isn’t Available?

It’s not uncommon for the exact registration you have in mind — maybe your initials, name, or a meaningful date — to already be taken. But don’t worry: our search tool is designed to help you find close alternatives. When an exact match isn’t available, we display similar plates — often with slight variations in letters, numbers, or style — that are still available for purchase.

This gives you flexibility and increases the odds of finding a plate that you love without having to compromise too much. It’s better than spending time chasing a plate that isn’t on the market, only to come up empty handed.

Tips for Finding the Perfect Plate

• Be flexible on combinations: If your exact name or initials are taken, try small variations (e.g. different numbers, swapped letters) — you might find a plate that still feels personal without the premium price.
• Try different styles: If a modern current?style plate doesn’t appeal, check dateless, suffix or Northern Ireland options — sometimes a different style offers the same vibe but more availability.
• Budget wisely: Set a realistic price range, then browse within that filter. It primes you to find good value plates — whether you’re after a cheap plate or a rare collectible.
• Check regularly: New plates get added frequently — especially unique or dateless ones — and demand moves fast. Set alerts if the site offers them, or check back often.
