If you have wondered, ‘are 3D number plates legal’, or ‘are 4D number plates legal’ – we’re glad to say the answer is ‘yes’ – giving you a wide variety of plate options and customisation. What other plates are legal? Let’s look below.
There are a number of legal number plate types in the UK that you can enjoy, including the following:
You can buy a registration from the DVLA, which holds nine auctions every year for seven days online. Here, you will pay for a registration that you want and receive a V750 certificate of entitlement, which will give you the right to use the registration on your vehicle.
National Numbers also has a search function that allows you to search for private plate numbers that you can buy, as well as sell your number plate. However, you can also legally buy a registration from another person or a dealer, but we exercise caution in this area and encourage you to do checks before going through with the sale. In the case that you want to assign the plate or keep it, you will need to ask for the V778 or the V750.
You can renew your number plate for free every 10 years, while the cost of retaining a private registration is £80 when it is off a vehicle. The cost of purchasing a specific private registration can vary, as some private plates sell for thousands of pounds.
Make sure that your number plate is first installed properly so that it can be properly cared for and maintained. You can install it yourself or get us to if you come into our store, but remember that this is the basis of how long a plate will last.

If you prefer, you can keep your number plate and the registration attached to your vehicle. In order to do this, you will need to transfer the registration to your new vehicle, and the buyer will need to buy or transfer their own registration to the vehicle you are selling.
Plate registrations can be transferred to a different owner. To do this, you will need the plate details, proof of identity (this includes new and current owners), vehicle documents and details, and a transfer fee. The required forms (V317 to transfer a plate between cars and the V778 or V750 to give the private plate to someone else) will need to be filled in.
