What Are Private Number Plates?
Private number plates (also called personalised plates or cherished registrations) allow you to replace your standard DVLA registration with something unique. They can represent:
- Names (e.g., P3 TER, J4 MES)
- Initials
- Hobbies
- Businesses
- Short combinations
- Dateless and classic formats
There are several styles to choose from:
Current Style Plates (2001 → Today)
The modern format such as AB51 ABC. Ideal for creating initials or words.
Prefix Plates (1983 → 2001)
Starts with a letter such as M123 ABC. Great for matching first-name initials.
Suffix Plates (1963 → 1982)
Ends with a letter such as ABC 123M. Often desirable and collectible.
Dateless Plates (Pre-1963)
Pure combinations like 1 AB. The most prestigious plates — no year identifier at all.
Irish Plates
Affordable options such as ABZ 1234. Brilliant value while still giving a personalised look.
