How to get the Most of our Number Plate Search Using Initials
You will find the range of initial number plates firstly by entering 2 initials or 3 initials. Private plates based on initials are an ever popular type of private number plate.
This is because there are plenty of ‘prefix’ style of number plates available, prefix number plates are plates consisting of 1 letter followed by up to 3 numbers and then 3 more letters.
Typically, the last 3 letters are used as either initials or a nick name and where possible you might look to repeat your first name initial at the start of the plate. For example, Richard Liam Marshal would want a plate such as R90 RLM.
An even quicker way is to simply click a letter from our Alphabetical search and you will see a set of plate searches based on that letter. Even though its a quicker way to search the number plate search results will not be so accurate compared to using 3 initials to base your number plate search on.

Do private number plates keep their value?
Many do. Short, catchy, or dateless number plates often increase in value over time. If you choose wisely, your private registration can be both a personal statement and a long-term investment.
