Personalised vehicle registration numbers

1. Overview

When you buy a personalised number, you’re buying the right to assign the number to a vehicle. The vehicle can be registered in your name, or in the name of someone else (‘the nominee’).

To get a personalised number, you need to:

• buy a personalised number from DVLA Personalised Registrations
• assign the registration number to your vehicle
• get your personalised number plates made up

You can renew the certificate for a further 10 years.
