Ordering Your Private Plate: Step-by-Step Guide
- Registering Your Plate: When you purchase a private registration from us, we register it in your name and initiate the process to obtain the V750 Certificate of Entitlement on your behalf.
- Ordering Number Plates: If you also order custom number plates along with your private registration, you will need to provide a proof of address. This document can be easily uploaded through our secure online document upload service.
- Opting for the Done-For-You Transfer Service: For seamless application of your new registration onto your vehicle, consider adding our Done-For-You Transfer Service. This requires a photograph of your current V5C Logbook, which can also be uploaded online.
- Manufacturing Your Plates: Once we have all the required documents, we'll craft your number plates to your specifications.
- Completing the Transfer: We handle the complete transfer of your new registration to your vehicle as per your request.
- Delivery: All items, including your new number plates and any corresponding documents, will be sent to you via your chosen Royal Mail service.
This streamlined process is designed to ensure that your experience is hassle-free from start to finish. If you have any questions or need further assistance, our customer service team is here to help every step of the way.
It depends on whether you purchase number plates or our Done-For-You Transfer Service, but it couldn't be easier.
If you purchased number plates, we'll need a proof of address document. This would typically be a utility bill, council tax bill, or bank statement, as these can be uploaded online in their PDF original form.
There are plenty of other proof of address documents you can provide, but we may require them in physical original form. Please reach out to our customer services team for any clarifications.
If you purchased our Done-For-You Transfer Service, we'll need a clear photograph of the front cover of your most recent V5C Logbook, which can also be provided online.
The DVLA quotes up to 2 weeks for the V750 Certificate of Entitlement to be printed and posted out to us, but they're often much quicker than that, and in lots of instances we have the certificate within 3-4 working days.
We post out your certificate (and any number plates and accessories!) the same day we receive the certificate, using either a next-day or two day delivery service.
Our Done-For-You Transfer Service is designed to simplify and expedite the process of transferring your new private registration to your vehicle. Here's why it's a valuable choice:
- Expert Handling: We handle thousands of registrations transfers annually and know the DVLA processes inside and out. Our expertise ensures that your transfer is managed correctly and efficiently.
- Convenience: By choosing our Done-For-You Service, you save time and avoid the hassle of dealing with paperwork and DVLA requirements on your own. We take care of everything from start to finish.
- Speed: Leveraging our established processes and direct communications with the DVLA, we are often able to complete transfers quicker than if you were to do it on your own. This means you can enjoy your new registration on your vehicle sooner.
- Peace of Mind: With our professional service, you can be confident that all aspects of the transfer comply with legal requirements. This peace of mind is invaluable, especially for those who are new to buying private registrations or who have busy schedules.
- Support: Throughout the transfer process, our dedicated team is here to answer any questions and provide updates. You’ll never be left in the dark about the status of your registration.

Absolutely! A private registration makes a thoughtful and unique gift for any occasion, whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, graduation, or just to show appreciation. Here's how you can gift a private registration:
- Choose the Registration: Browse our extensive selection of private registrations to find the perfect one that matches the personality or interests of your gift recipient.
- Purchase Options: You can purchase the registration directly and have it assigned to the recipient’s vehicle with our Done-For-You Transfer Service, or hold the reg on the entitlement certificate if you want to give them the freedom to assign the registration at their convenience.
- Gift Certificate: If you need a gift at short notice, we can provide a beautifully designed gift certificate that informs the recipient about their new private registration. This is a great option if you can't wait for the V750 Certificate to arrive, as we send out the Gift Certificate within 24 hours typically.
- Legal Considerations: Ensure that the registration you choose does not make the vehicle appear newer than it is. This is a legal requirement to maintain the integrity of the vehicle's age as displayed.
- Transfer Process: Once the registration is ready to be transferred, we can complete the assignment of the registration to their vehicle if you opted for our Done-For-You Transfer Service, ensuring everything is done legally and correctly.
