Number plate secure transfer service

Private number plate transfer

Complete peace of mind.

When you buy or sell your personal car registration number, you will need to complete some DVLA documentation to transfer the registration mark. This can take several weeks.

You will also need to ensure that payments are smooth and trouble-free.

Be secure when you are buying or selling a number plate privately.
For complete peace of mind, you can take advantage of The Plate Market’s Secure Number Plate Transfer Service.
