Number plate word search quiz

Number plate word search quiz

Private number plates that represent words and names are a perennial favourite with enthusiasts, and it's easy to see why. Of all the different types, names and words are the easiest to recognise and so they have the biggest impact. It's all thanks to the incredible ability of the human eye and mind to spot patterns, especially familiar patterns.

We thought it might be fun to combine a trivia quiz and people's ability to spot the words and names represented by some of the personal registrations for sale on our website. The questions vary in difficulty but none, as the saying goes, are rocket science. As with most quizzes, all you really need are a good, basic general knowledge - or Google.

Below, you will see a selection of registration numbers and a list of questions. Simply find the registration that represents the word or words that are blanked-out in the question. Each registration may, or may not, be used more than once. Some in the selection may not be used at all.

The role of DVLA

Car registrations and number plates, including personalised number plates, in the UK, are the responsibility of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, usually known as the DVLA. It issues new registrations twice a year and also maintains the central database that records details of all vehicles licensed to drive on UK roads, along with their keeper and registration information.

Regtransfers works closely with DVLA to complete registration transfers as quickly and efficiently as possible. Regtransfers is a DVLA-registered supplier of personal car registrations and number plates and is listed on the DVLA Registrations website. All number plates supplied by Regtransfers comply with DVLA's prescribed standards and regulations.

DVLA administers all UK registration transfers and issues updated registration documents when the registration number of a car is changed, or when a registration is removed from a vehicle and placed on a retention document in accordance with the DVLA Retention Scheme.

DVLA is a registered trade mark of the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency. Regtransfers is not affiliated with the DVLA or DVLA Personalised Registrations. Regtransfers is a recognised reseller of unissued Government stock.

Number plate regulations

When a car is on the road, it is an offence to display number plates bearing any number other than the vehicle's officially recorded registration number. If you purchase a private registration, learn how to transfer private plates before displaying the new number.

All registration number plates displayed on UK vehicles must comply with the official number plate regulations. DVLA oversees enforcement of number plates display regulations and maintains a register of approved manufacturers and retailers of vehicle number plates.

Regtransfers is not part of, and is not formally affiliated with DVLA.
