It comes as quite a surprise to many people when they learn that they don't have to keep the number plates their car was originally registered with.
Private registrations have become increasingly popular over the last few years, and it has never been easier to personalise your car. There was a time, not so long ago, that a personalised number plate meant that the car displaying it was probably driven by someone very rich or very famous. Things have indeed changed: although many of Regtransfers.co.uk's customers are celebrities and millionaires,
anyone can have their own personal car registration with their initials, name or something else specific to them.

Our personal number plate search is flexible and easy to use. You may enter whatever you like and we'll try to find the registration that best matches your search criteria.
For the best results we recommend that you enter initials. Names and words also return some great choices. Other search term ideas you may like to try can include cars, jobs and hobbies.
When searching for plates with initials, don't forget to watch out for number combinations which may add significance to the initial letters: birth dates or door numbers for example.
The "Make Your Own Plate" facility on this page allows you to select specific numbers and letters from the step-by-step drop-down menus and build your own number plate. The number is previewed as you go along so you can see what it will look like. Once you've selected a combination you like, a click on the 'Search' button checks availability for you.
To explore other possibilities, why not try our other top searches. You'll find a list of them on the right hand side of our home page.

In the UK, the system by which private registrations are transferred means that the desired effect has to be achieved by finding combinations of characters within the standard sequence of issued plates which visually resemble the name or word, or which contain the relevant initials. For example, Regtransfers marketing manager, Len Stout, chose the registration S7 OUT for his car. It is a standard, legal registration, but the particular combination of characters quite clearly says "Stout" to the reader! Lucky Len has got himself a great plate there.
It might seem that the requirement to use a combination of characters that exists within the issued sequence of plates would limit choices and possibilities. In practice many, many names can be reproduced, or nearly reproduced to great effect following these rules. You only have to browse our searches to see.
So, why not search for your own private registration while you're here? See the search box in the right hand column, or choose one of our other private registrations search options.
