Thinking of making an investment, or purchasing a memorable birthday gift in the form of a custom personalised number plate? There\u2019s a common misconception that the process of choosing, purchasing and installing a registration plate is overly complicated and time-consuming. In fact, the process couldn\u2019t be much simpler, consisting of a few quick steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, we\u2019ll take a look at the process from start to finish, from choosing your plate to it arriving at your door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Choosing Your Custom Number Plate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, you need to decide what you\u2019re purchasing the plate for. If you\u2019re looking to purchase a personalised plate for a friend or loved one as a gift, it makes sense to go with their name or nickname. You can start by typing their name into our reg plate search. You\u2019ll then see a list of available plates ordered by how close to your original search. You\u2019ll find that plates with fewer characters, and those displaying popular names are more expensive and more obscure plates cost less. If you\u2019re making an investment, you\u2019ll want to pick a plate you believe will go up in value over the next several years.

Purchasing Your Chosen Plate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve decided upon your reg plate, the process is simple. Up to a certain price range, you can complete the buying process entirely online through our easy purchasing form. All you\u2019ll need is the name of the cars registered keeper and the registration number you\u2019ll be replacing. More expensive plates will likely need to be handled over the phone – just leave us an enquiry and we\u2019ll get back to you.
