DVLA does not provide the actual number plates when you make a purchase. We will send you a certificate of entitlement (V750) which you will then need to use to get number plates made with a number plate supplier. You can find your nearest supplier using https://www.gov.uk/number-plate-supplier

The registered number plate supplier will ensure the plates are made to the correct legal standard. More information about number plates can be found at https://www.gov.uk/displaying-number-plates

When you purchase a personalised registration, we will send you a V750 Certificate of Entitlement, which you will need to assign the registration to a vehicle. If you are purchasing it as a gift, set the account up in your name and address. When making the purchase, you can add a nominee, this should be the person who is or will be the registered keeper of the vehicle it's going to be assigned to.

Once the registration is assigned to a vehicle, the entitlement is transferred to the registered keeper of that vehicle as shown on the V5C Registration Certificate.

No, DVLA do not offer any finance or payment instalments, all payments must be made in full at the time of purchase.

Although there are millions of registrations available to buy direct today, you might want a registration that does not appear in your search results. If this is the case, we might be able to make that registration available. To do this, the registration:

• must be a valid format.
• must never have sold previously.
• must never have been issued to a vehicle previously.

If you have a specific registration in mind, or a preferred combination of letters and numbers, please use our online email service to contact us.

No, DVLA only sells registrations that have never been issued or sold before. If a registration has been on a vehicle in the past, and even if that vehicle has been scrapped, that registration will not be available to purchase from DVLA.
