All of our registration number plates transfers are conducted through the DVLA. The DVLA has local offices throughout the country and transfers are usually placed in the office nearest to the seller or vendor. DVLA registration includes changing over your tax disc as well as updating MOT details and of course your V5 registration document. The main DVLA office is DVLA swansea, their headquarters.

DVLA number plates date back since 1903 when Earl Russell was assigned the highly prestigious mark A1 to his Napier motor car.

Since then, interest levels in car registration plates has soared and they continue to prove a keen investment and an eye catching addittion to any vehicle from Robin Reliant to Bentley GT!

Personalised Number Plates

Current system

The current personalised number plates system for Great Britain was introduced on 1 September 2001. Each registration index consists of seven characters with a defined format.

From left to right, the characters consist of:

• A local memory tag or area code, consisting of two letters which together indicate the local registration office. The letters I, Q and Z are not used in this code;

  • The first of these two letters is a mnemonic standing for the name of the broad area where the registration office is located. This is intended to make the registration more memorable than an arbitrary code. For example, A is used as the first character in all registrations issued by the three offices located in the vicinity of East Anglia;
• A two-digit age identifier, which changes twice a year, in March and September. The code is either the last two digits of the year itself (e.g. "05" for 2005) if issued between March and August, or else has 50 added (e.g. 55 for September 2005) if issued between September and February the following year;
• A three-letter sequence which uniquely distinguishes each of the vehicles displaying the same initial four-character area and age sequence. The letters I and Q are excluded from the three-letter sequence, as are combinations that may appear offensive (including those in foreign languages).

Since the dvla introduced the bsau145d legislation it has been increasingly difficult for motorists to obtain personalised number plates with anything other than legal spacing.
There is however another line of argument for the defence of the serial mis spacer. They say that a number plate that has been altered to make a word or a name is much more memorable in the event of an incident.
They also argue that the dvla blatantly auction registration numbers that would be virtually worthless without mis spacing.

In any case, the legilation is here to stay and our advice is keep it legal! More personalised number plate frequently asked questions can be found answered here.
