Beginning the search for a number plate that represents you best should be an exciting task, however, the disappointment of finding out that the one you’ve had your eyes set on isn’t available for purchase is something everyone wants to avoid.
With the amount of cars on the road increasing year by year, the chances of the license plate you want belonging to another driver are quite high. If you are thinking about upgrading your license plate but want to ensure it’s available before getting your hopes up, you’re in the right place. Keep on reading to discover how to check number plate availability:
The most efficient way to find out if a registration plate has already been sold is via the DVLA reg check. The purpose of this tool is to gather multiple pieces of information about a vehicle such as make and model, tax status, etc. Inputting your custom number plate idea will also help you decipher whether the registration has been taken; if the search bar does not provide results, there’s a good chance that your custom plate may still be available.

If you want to get your custom license plate manufactured, it’s important to choose the license plate dealer with caution. There is always some risk associated with dealing with certain license plate manufacturers as they could be resorting to underhanded tactics.
Ensuring you check the official DVLA website to confirm that the custom registration is available will help avoid potential scams. To take a further step to ensure your protection, you can always cross-reference with a third-party checker.
When it’s time to purchase your custom license plate, it’s important to deal with a trustworthy registration plate dealer. At Number Plate Clinic, we take pride in our transparency and reliability. When creating a number plate with us, we always ask for proof of ownership to confirm that your identity matches the name legally attached to the plate.
Requesting samples and mock-ups of number plate designs will help you envision the end result. If these are not available, it’s advisable to request examples of past work.
The DVLA has strict regulations on character spacing which must be adhered to. This is to allow for the enforcement of traffic laws and toll charges via CCTV systems such as ANPR. Additionally, the specific spacing allows people to read and memorise licence plates easier.
Going against the ruling will make your plate illegal and can result in trouble with law enforcement.
