There's a specific XX14 XXX registration plate I want to get in March 2014.

I'll have to buy a new car right? Can I then use that plate on any newer car? Or does it have to stay to a car registered to that period?

How do you ensure you get it? Has anyone tried to register a plate when they first come out before?

Thanks,

 

No idea how to ensure you get it other than contacting the DVLA?

A 2014/14 registration can go on any car of that year or newer, you can't put it on an older car.

 

IIRC, the DVLA, not wishing to miss out on some extra revenue, do sell sought after numbers. Check their website for details of future sales ...

 

I find search engines a good investment:

Can I reserve new registrations before release (13s, 14s, 15s etc…)?

Absolutely, you can! Register your interest with us immediately! Why us? Using our specially developed software, we are able to protect our customers from losing out to the competition (including other dealers) on the release days of all new series. Statistically, there is actually a 98.2% probability of us securing any new series registration on release day. This figure is based on our previous success rate. Our policy is first come first served and you don't have to pay a deposit. You can keep a new reg on a certificate indefinitely, so you don't even need a vehicle.

Plate Master has an impeccable and unequalled track record of securing registrations on release days for clients. You can register your interest with us for an unlimited number a future number plates. DVLA registrations can only be purchased online and it's not surprising that on release days there exists ferocious opposition which in turn reduces the likelihood of securing your chosen registration yourself, especially ones of high interest.

 

Depending on what it is then just buy as soon as the DVLA release them, especially if it's one that could mean something to a lot of people that the companies might not realise.

As soon as any newreg company put 2 and 2 together on why you want a plate then the price will go up 10 fold.

We had a plate released by DVLA a few years ago but it went to auction, as the ex had been putting that plate into every newreg company for the last however many years it sold for quite a bit then went on their webiste for 10 x the amount due to the amount of search requests they'd had for it.
