  • I’ve Brought A Registration From You, But It Is Still Appearing On Your Website. Why Is This?

    Unfortunately, it is unfeasible for us to update our website as soon as a plate is sold. Therefore in a lot of cases, plates appear on our site that have already gone. In these cases, the plates are not available and will not be sold again. If you are worried about this, you can give us a call, and we will manually update the record on our database.

  • What Happens If I’m Buying A Personalised Registration Plate As A Gift Or On Behalf Of Someone Else?

    If you are purchasing a DVLA personalised number plate for, or on behalf of another person, you will be recorded as the purchaser and the person for whom the registration has been brought for will be recorded as the nominee. The registration mark can then be used on a vehicle registered in your name, or that of the nominee.

    If you are purchasing a plate on behalf of a company, the company’s name will be recorded as the purchaser.

  • What Is A Registration Number and Who Has Entitlement To It?

    Registration numbers are not items of property in their own right. They are assigned and may be withdrawn by the Secretary of State as part of the basic registration and licensing process required by law. The registration number is a unique means of identifying a vehicle, primarily for taxation and law enforcement purposes. It is assigned to a specific vehicle rather than its keeper. Unless it is transferred or retained, the registration number will stay with a specific vehicle until it is broken up, destroyed, or sent permanently out of the country. An individual acquires entitlement to a registration number when he or she becomes the registered keeper of the vehicle. When the vehicle is sold, the entitlement to the registration number is automatically transferred to the new registered keeper.

  • Do I Have To Keep The Registration On My Vehicle For A Certain Time Before I Can Transfer It Again?

    There are no time restrictions for transferring your number plate, this is something that can be easily done. Please note that you may not re-advertise / sell your plate with RegHunters.co.uk until the transaction is complete and full payment is received.
