Why can’t personalised number plates be whatever you want. The police are keen that registration number depict the age of the vehicle and the area of the country it was first registered but this is easily thwarted by buying a personalised registration number which could be ageless or older than the number already on the car, simlilarily with the area coded letters.

If you hold your private plates on a retention certificate or certificate of entitlement and you no longer want them, you can apply for a refund of the ?80 transfer fee. You can only do this up to 28 days before the expiry date and once paid your entitlement to the registration number ceases.In fact the registration number itself ceases to exist.
