Here you will find answers to questions we are frequently asked, 01792 477 316 (local rate call) Open 7 days a week Click the Question for the answer Q1 WHY DISPLAY A PERSONAL REGISTRATION MARK? New Number Plate Regulations Number plate suppliers If you want to buy a new plate for a trailer or caravan or to replace a broken one on your car you will have to show the registered supplier documents to prove both who you are and also that you have entitlement to the registration mark. For proof of entitlement to the vehicle registration mark: V11 licence renewal application form copy of hire/lease contract company letter on headed paper, including VAT number or VE103 (vehicle on hire certificate) proof of Cherished Transfer Utility bill and current paper driving licence Utility bill and passport Utility bill and credit/debit card with photograph Utility bill and travel pass card with photograph Utility bill and foreign national identity card New Style Number plates- Sept 2001 format and rules The latest number plate format has affected all new cars from 1 September 2001. The design improves on the durability of previous plates and has a new system for displaying the age and origin of a vehicle.
There are three parts to the new format:
What the law says about the display of registration marks The new British Standard and the Vehicle (Crime) Bill, is very specific about what is allowed and what is not. All new number plates must conform to the following specifications: Characters/ Size The 'local memory tag' has two letters at the start of the plate. The first indicates the region in which the car was registered and the second refers to a local DVLA* office: Letter /Region/ Local Office/ DVLA* Local Office identifier
Understanding the numbers in the middle of the new number plates The 'age identifier' changes to reflect whether the car was new in March or September and to show the year of registration. If the first number is a 0,1,2,3 or 4 the car was first registered between March and August. If it starts with a 5,6,7,8 or 9 then the car was first registered between September and February. September 2001 to February 2002 51 Number plate history The earliest registration marks were made up of one letter and one number.
How the Age of a Vehicle is shown by it's number plate How a Personal Number Plate is valued What are the most expensive plates? Popular names will be worth more, as there is more demand for them. Complete words or names are more desirable. All number plates are unique, but the rarer in style, the higher the value. A memorable number plate is a valuable one. Plates with the number one as the second digit command high prices. J and S are the most sought after prefixes and command higher values. They form some of their prices by watching the DVLA* cherished plate auctions. This tells them how much the market is prepared to pay for a certain type of plate. They also compare plates for sale with similar plates that were recently sold and base their valuation on that. Uniqueness, desirability and popularity are all taken into account. WHY WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO TELL MY FRIENDS? A. To keep prices sensible and affordable for all A. TO KEEP PRICES SENSIBLE & AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE: B. TO HELP FIND REGISTRATION MARKS AND UNLOCK THEIR VALUE FOR THEIR OWNERS C. BECAUSE ITS FUN TRYING TO SPELL WORDS, NAMES AND PHRASES OUT OF REGISTRATION MARKS D. BECAUSE IF THE PERSON YOU TELL BUYS OR SELLS A REGISTRATION MARK INTERNET TECHNOLOGY HAS THE POTENTIAL, TO LOWER COSTS TO EVERYONE'S BENEFIT BUT.... WHY DISPLAY A PERSONAL CAR NUMBER PLATE? Please read the feedback from some of our clients:- PERSONAL IDENTITY 'Golf is my favourite pastime so I purchased a mark with the suffix TEE' 'My dogs are my life so the registration mark 'K9' with my initials after it was a MUST HAVE!' AS A GIFT FOR A LOVED ONE BUSINESS IDENTITY 'Although our fleet of buses is ageing they are all well maintained. Our new registrations make it difficult for our clients to put an age on our vehicles and their confidence is retained' 'I'm proud of my new taxi and my new registration definitely makes my black cab stand out from the crowd. It shows I'm not short of a sense of humour too !' INVESTMENT 'Our son Daniel is only twelve years old but mad about cars already! We've bought him a DAN personal number plate and will keep it secretly on a holding certificate until his 18th Birthday. We know these number plates have increased in value over the past 10 years so thought it best to buy one now whilst they are still affordable'. HOW DO I SEARCH FOR MY DREAM CAR REGISTRATION? CALL US ON 01792 477 316 OR COMPLETE THE ON-LINE SEARCH FORM We can supply almost any 3 letter combination registration at affordable prices. Two and one letter registrations are considerably more expensive as they are rarer and even more distinctive. The marks offered for sale change by the minute with new marks coming onto the market and being sold almost continuously. There are approximately 24 MILLION choices available at any one time which we can supply. We can act for you if you see your dream registration for sale advertised anywhere else and regularly save our clients time, money and unnecessary distress in negotiations and transfers. Your name, your telephone number and your budget fields are obligatory and must be completed in order to continue. Registration mark(s) on existing vehicles: Date of First Registration(s) No existing vehicle Your searches Clues & Notes for us IN EVERY CASE a registration can only be purchased if the owner has offered it for sale. The DVLA* has a legal responsibility not to disclose the personal details of any keepers of motor vehicles to any non-government or commercial organisation including individuals. Therefore there is no simple method available to discover the location and owner of the rights to ANY registration mark that is not on the open market for sale. Basically we need you to educate us as to your wants so that we can match this with our knowledge of registration marks that have been issued. Registration marks always consist of a combination of letters and numbers. They can have from 2 to 7 digits. The layouts and arrangements of letters and numbers follow specific government series issuing rules. Therefore many combinations have not, nor ever will be issued. We will advise you of the options available to you. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT ? We will inform you of any registration which we hold as 'for sale' on our database which matches your search criteria. We may do this by e-mail and telephone. You will then have the opportunity to secure your purchase by way of payment of a deposit or full payment. NB:The transfer process into your ownership will be begun immediately and you will unfortunately be unable to change your mind. Therefore it is vital that you think very carefully before committing yourself to the transaction. HOW MUCH DO PRIVATE NUMBERPLATES COST AND HOW ARE THEY VALUED? As with most things in life, price or value is determined by rarity and desirability. As far as rarity is concerned, every registration mark is rare as there is only ONE example of it. Thus desirability to the buyer is the main factor determining value. One needs to ask oneself what does the number plate do for the person concerned, how well does it do it, and how many other number plates (although different) can do a similar job. It is therefore easier to understand that registration marks which accurately spell a word, name or phrase are highly desirable. How accurately they do this determines their value to the buyer as does the level of availability of similar examples for sale at the time the buyer is buying. Less is nearly always worth more. The fewer letters and numbers a person needs to display on their number plate to do the job in question then the more they will be prepared to pay for it. This is because succinct number plates are extremely distinctive and noticeable. They are also much rarer than more modern examples due to the simple fact that they were issued many years ago and few examples of such registration marks were transferred to newer cars. Thus when the vehicle came to the end of its life so did its registration number, if it was still on it at the time. Therefore there are relatively few short number plates in circulation AND EVEN FEWER ON THE OPEN MARKET AT ANY GIVEN TIME. In order to be as accurate as possible with our valuations we not only take the above factors into consideration but also keep extensive records of sale prices achieved and the circumstances they were achieved under. A registration sold privately will seldom achieve the same price it would in an exciting auction situation whereby 2 or more buyers are bidding for it in turn to drive the price up. An inaccurate valuation is usually demonstrated quite quickly by the lack of interest shown in it by potential buyers and vice-versa. CAN I BUY A PRIVATE PLATE FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND KEEP IT UNTIL I'M READY TO GIVE IT AS A GIFT? We offer a holding and renewal service so that you don't need to remember when its time to renew your certificates. Ideal for those people with already busy lives. Failure to renew your certificate in time can lead to you losing the rights to your private registration number, so you must be careful and remember to renew it. I'M BUYING A NEW VEHICLE, CAN THE PERSONALISED PLATES TRANSFER BE DONE BEFORE I COLLECT IT FROM THE DEALERS? Yes, in most cases we can work with your dealer to get the transfer completed and your new number plates on your vehicle, provided we have enough time. I'M CHANGING MY VEHICLE PRIVATELY, WHAT SHOULD I DO? We can arrange for your new registration and personal details to be added to your new vehicles' documents at the same time. Contact us now for further advice. info@vrm-group.co.uk HOW LONG DOES THE PRIVATE TRANSFER TO MY VEHICLE TAKE? Transfers can be completed from within 5 working days to in most cases 3-6 weeks (depending on the type of transfer). Car to car transfers nearly always take longer than certificate to car transfers. However transfers to Northern Irish vehicles from Great Britain can take up to 3 months as the procedure is quite complex. In every case transfer times depend on how quickly people act. We are totally dependant upon:- Our office deals with each transfer immediately. We greatly appreciate your patience whilst you await completion of your transfer, CAN I STILL USE MY VEHICLE WHILE THE PERSONAL TRANSFER IS IN PROGRESS? Yes, provided the vehicle is taxed, insured and has a current MOT certificate(if required), you may continue to use it on the public highways. WHEN CAN I FIX MY NEW PRIVATE NUMBER PLATES TO MY VEHICLE? When you receive your replacement tax (license) disc from us, showing your new registration mark and display this on your vehicle. DO I NEED TO INFORM MY INSURERS THAT I HAVE A NEW CHERISHED REGISTRATION MARK? Yes, remember to tell them in writing that 'in the event of a total loss claim...' whereby they effectively buy your vehicle (or what's left of it) off you due to theft, or as a 'right off', '...the registration mark will remain your property'. WHAT IF I WANT TO ALTER THE SPACING OR LETTER STYLE ON MY NUMBER PLATES? Please remember that :- In practise, the authorities have very little time and resources available to pursue offenders of this part of the law. However, you will bring unwanted attention to yourself and give the authorities a genuine reason to stop you on the highway if they so wish. IS IT LEGAL TO HAVE A NATIONAL EMBLEM ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF MY NEW NUMBER PLATES? WELSH FLAG with 'CYM' SCOTTISH FLAG with 'SCO' I HAVE HEARD THAT IRISH NUMBER PLATES ARE CHEAP AND 'DATELESS'. IS THIS TRUE AND WHAT SELECTION IS AVAILABLE TO ME? Indeed, some Irish number plates can be as desirable as any others and command high prices!
