Number plates
can now be bought for less direct from Plates4less.co.uk VRM Swansea
Welcome, we’ve designed our website to
give you the best possible variety of ways to
find the number plate which is truly personal
to you. There are many types of plate to choose
from, those issued on the UK Mainland by DVLA (formerly DVLC) Swansea, and those
issued by the DVLNI from Northern Ireland. Our online stocklists hold
approximately 27 million unique registrations
so it’s worth taking the time to explain
to you how to find a plate which suits you in
terms of both style and budget.
Private Number Plate Search Generator
This unique system generates all the private number plate searches possible, based on your input and then
checks our huge database of over 28 million records for matches.
The system does all the work so that you don't have to. However, if you don’t see anything you like online, you can always fill in a short enquiry form for one of our expert staff to do more searching for you!
If you take a look at the private numberplates search options (just use the "Find Number Plates" link at the top of this page) the
way they work are as follows:-
The Wide Number Plates search is designed to let you perform a quick search
for your plate by typing in three letters. These
could be your initials or a three letter word.
The important thing to remember is that the DVLA
doesn’t issue registration marks containing
the letter I or the letter Q, so you can’t
enter these letters. If you then click on the
search button and wait a few moments your numberplate results
will be shown together with the price of acquiring
the rights to display the plates on your vehicle.
The green ‘More Info’ button is very
important as it allows you to see the different
number plate transfer options together with the
vat and government transfer fees.You can even create a picture of your perfect plate on a wide choice of cars.
We always offer discounts if you can pay by
cheque or bank debit card as opposed to your credit
cards and so we show you how much you can save
by paying in these different ways. The More Info
button also lets you see if there is any transfer
restriction applied to the plates you have chosen.
Most of the cheaper number plates have a letter
or number called an age indicator so it’s
important that you don’t order a plate which
is younger than the vehicle you wish to put it
on as this transfer would not be allowed. You
can still buy your dream plate for transfer at
a later date, if that’s what you’d
like to do. You don’t even need a car or
other vehicle right now as we can supply the rights
to the registration mark on a DVLA certificate
for you to use later on.
The other two types of searches lead to the same
information but let you be more specific in choosing
the letters and numbers that you like.
We also have many other ways to search the stock
including Irish number plates, just
click here to visit these pages.
We have an additional 10 million plates in our
offline stocklists so don’t despair if you
can’t quite find what your heart desires.
You can click
this link and e-mail your dream plates to
us or alternatively call us on 0845 055 0545 to
speak with one of our experienced customer advisors
during office hours, who’ll be more than
happy to help you find your new number plates.
