Personalised Number Plates

Personalised number plates, also known as private number plates or private registrations, are an ideal way of giving your car, van or bike that extra bit of personalisation, making it instantly recognisable to you and other road users! 

Personalised registrations often reflect a name, date or contain initials which are significant to the owner, and there are a number of different personalised reg plates available, ranging from current styles to dateless registrations, as well as suffix and prefix style registrations! 

Usually, people have something in mind when they come looking for personalised registration plates, and our search function will help you find the perfect private plate for you! Just enter whatever it is you have in mind, and our clever algorithm will match you with some of our most relevant registrations from our database of over 50,000,000 registrations! Whatever you want, whatever you need, here at Number 1 Plates, we’ve got you covered!

How much are personalised number plates?

Honestly, there’s no simple answer to this question, as personal registrations can vary so much in price, with their cost being dependent on so many variables! Typically, registrations are valued with age, rarity, popularity of the characters and comparable current and historical prices in mind, with older, more popular characters tending to be more expensive. For this reason, this is also reflected in the style of the plate, with cherished registrations typically being more expensive than suffix, prefix and current styles. 

However, despite this, we can tell you that personal registration plates can start from as little as £299, meaning that your perfect private reg doesn’t have to cost a fortune! 

If you currently own a private registration and you’re wondering whether we can help you sell it, then yes, we can do that too! Head over to the ‘Sell Your Plate’ section to find out how.
