About DVLA Number Plates
The DVLA, which stands for The Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency, whose head quarters are in Swansea, Wales, creates and records vehicle registrations. Their main role is the provision of vehicle registration numbers, or more commonly known, number plates for UK vehicles. The DVLA are a government agency set up to act on behalf of the department for transport.
Many people like to have a more personalised and stylish looking number plate so they remove them from their vehicle and replace them with their own personalised registration plate. Whatever number plates you have, it must have been issued by the DVLA at some point.
They began commercially selling personalised registrations in 1989 (now more commonly called DVLA number plates or DVLA registrations).
They have been selling unissued combinations of personalised registrations directly and through its official auctions ever since.
Private number plates and also DVLA cherished plates are available to buy and can be styled to display names, initials and other personalised things.
The DVLA have been selling unissued combinations of personalised registrations directly and through its official auctions for more than thirty years, which began with the sale of A and H prefix number plates for £250.
Some short, highly desirable numbers made significant sums of money resembling words or names.
The first DVLA auction of number plates was at Christie’s issuing and selling numbers like ‘1 J’, ‘1 A’ and ‘K1 NGS'. These private number plates will now be worth many more times the cost back then.
