Custom plates - fee

So I've looked on google and here, on forum but can't find an answer.. I'm thinking of getting custom plates but I have no idea what to do after I get them... how do I register them in dvla? and more importantly, how much will they charge me? I know custom plates are roughly 15 quid but how much is it to register them in dvla?

Cheers in advance.

£13.25 for a custom plate...

80 quid + plate seems a little costy... lol

Do you mean buying the same number plate just slightly different size/slogan on it?

If so, I've just got a smaller number plate (inch smaller in width and height) for less than £6 = bargain.

Edit: The website you've listed is just for the number plate itself. You can't just get any number and expect it to be legal, infact the website which is called "show plates" gives it away.

Are you talking about private registration plates?

In that case they range from £100 to thousands easy.

I'm not sure what your aim is here, you can't just make up a plate you want and then re register it to your vehicle.. can you?

Yeah, your own reg on funky plates, ebay.

Custom reg completely different to your own £200 minimum.

My aim is to change my number plate to pretty much what ever I want as in slogan, numbers etc. I thought i could buy a custom plate and then register it... Can't I do that? Embarassed

No. Private number plates cost anywhere from £100 to thousands of pounds, you don't just make a plate and then register it.

Try www.dvlaregistrations.direct.gov.uk

PEN15 was owned by someone living in Glenhurst ave, Bexley a few years ago!

When the owner moved he took his PEN15 (plate) with him.

Right... there goes my plan... Laughing

thanks for explaining this to me. One more thing though. If I was gonna keep the same number plate as I have now in terms of numbers and letters staying the same but wanted to change the border and the little text underneath, I just get the PHYSICAL plate and put it on my bike. I don't have to register it or anything do I?

Instead of letters, he really means alphanumerics - letters and numbers.

I was going to buy "Bang Tidy" for my bike, but it proved a problem buying the registration.
