With over 45 million private number plates currently in circulation, chances are there will be at least a few number plates that will be suitable for you.
DVLA: started doing auctions back in 1989 with just 74 lots being issued and this was one of the only places you could buy a personalised number plate. They now have 9 online auctions per year, each 1 running over 7 days and issue 2000 lots at each one. These auctions are open to everybody not just number plate dealers.
Other Online Auctions: Websites dedicated to buying and selling private number plates have since emerged, making it possible to trade these items like collectibles. The convenience and accessibility of online transactions contributed to the growing popularity of private plates as a form of investment.
Buying through a reputable company: Using companies like ourselves here at Moonstone Plates gives you peace of mind that all the appropriate paperwork is handled correctly. All the relevant transfers are done safely ensuring when you buy a personalised plate you are guaranteed a safe and secure transaction.
We can also provide you with the physical plates such as standard print and 4D at 3MM thick that are all made to the current DVLA legislations. If you buy a personalised plate as a gift, we also offer the perfect gift box for you to present it in – meaning we can offer you the full package when you buy a private number plate UK.
eBay or Social Media You can now buy from online selling site like eBay or on different social media platforms, such as Facebook and Tik Tok. However, doing this does run the risk of being scammed, so unless you are familiar with the process of the buying and selling of private plates we advise you to be extra cautious when buying this way or better still use a reputable company like ourselves, that way you receive a safe, smooth and pleasant transaction.
If you are buying private, you can also use us to broker the deal (this happens when the seller has already found the buyer but there are trust issues or they can’t meet up in person etc etc). Prices start at only £50+VAT and scale up depending on the reg. This is like an escrow service where we hold the funds until the number plate either gets assigned to a car or until a new certificate is issued. The client will then get paid out in full. This is by far the safest and most secure way to buy a personalised plate.
Companies like us also allow protection to both the buyer and sellers, which reduces the risk of scams occurring.
