Search tips
- Use your middle initial. It may not seem terribly important, but it can make the difference between a registration that is a perfect fit and one that contains irrelevant letters.
- Try a nickname as well as your full name. Shorter names are easier to match, so "Kate" may find plates that "Katherine" cannot.
- Search your car's make or model. A plate that matches the car it sits on — AUD1, BMW, JAG — is a classic choice.
- Consider dateless registrations. Plates with no year identifier fit any vehicle and hide its age.
- Not sure where to start? Browse the themed collections above for inspiration.
