On the supply side, if you are looking to buy a DG registration and there lots on the market, you might be able to negotiate a good deal for yourself. Demand for popular sets of initials such as DJB and SJH is always strong and as a result these combinations always cost more than less popular initials such as YNL or ULN.

Private number plates are often offered for sale in car magazines, motoring sections of some newspapers and on internet auction websites.

If you intentionally adjust the way the letters or numbers are displayed, or add a fixing screw in a place where it should not be, you may be fined or even worse have the rights to your cherished number plates taken away from you.

Is there anything else I ought to be aware of?
Always notify your motor insurer and any recovery organisations you belong to when you change your car number plates. There may be a small charge of around ten pounds from your motor insurer to issue replacement policy documents.
