What Our Customers Say
“1st class service from initial enquiry to completion paperwork. Would have no hesitation in recommending or using again. Never thought purchasing a private plate was as simple or straight forward.” - Stuart on Trustpilot.
“Totally professional throughout, as I hoped they would be. First class communications by email as well as verbally when I rang to check a detail. A good price, followed by so much more, like very well made plates posted in a special padded envelope; and it's that 'getting- it-right' which prompts me to award five stars and recommend them wholeheartedly. Well Done!” - Mr Beattie on Trustpilot.
“Thought when I saw the reviews that it seemed to be too good to be true. Surprise, surprise, Regplates, did exactly what they said they would do. Bought reg number, plates arrived within 3 days, all done in 5 working days. Brilliant, thank you.” - Tony B on Trustpilot.

The First Number Plate Ever Issued A1 assigned in 1903 |

The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904, required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or contravention of the law. Vehicle registration number plates in the UK are rectangular or square in shape, with the exact permitted dimensions of the plate and its lettering set down in law.

Number plates were officially introduced in 1903 with the A 1 series. These private plates started at A 1 and ended at YY 9988 and was in use until 1932. The first letter was used to identify the location in which the license plate was initially registered. For example, A indicated that the number plate was registered in London.
The fact is, our attractions to cars in the UK goes deeper than simply having a mode of transport to get us from point A to B. Instead, the car we have in the driveway is an extension of our personality, and we care about how it looks.
