subject: Complete your car with personalised number plate [print this page] You've finally bought your dream carYou've finally bought your dream car. In your dream color. In your dream style. Everything about your car feels perfect. From the comfy seats, the power engine, all the way down to the brand new tires. You've even taken the time to accessorize your car to fit you. But something isn't right. Is it the mirror positions? The radio? You take a step back and immediately notice the random letters and numbers located upon your car number plates . Ugh. It's cold. It's unfeeling. It lacks personality. Frankly, it just isn't you.
Fortunately, getting a personalised number plate , also known as a private reg , is a relatively easy, painless process. Most are readily available and even those that aren't can usually be purchased for the right amount. A private reg is issued by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency). Car number plates were originally intended to remain with a particular vehicle until scrapped or permanently exported. But because of public interest, the DVLA has introduced regulations to facilitate the transfer of a registration mark from one vehicle to another (referred to as the DVLA Cherished Transfer Scheme). There is also a retention scheme, which allows a mark to be taken off a vehicle and stored on a certificate.
Purchasing a personalised number plate is simple as most DVLA recognised resellers handle the details after an initial deposit. The most time consuming aspect is selecting the actual symbols as there are some restrictions. Afterward, you receive a Certificate of Entitlement (V750). Then, once you've placed your registration mark on your car, you're ready to go.
