DVLA number plates can become quite the heirloom in some families, particularly if the number plate has something specific to do with the family; e.g. surname, anniversary etc. Each and every private number plate has the potential to become a dvla number plate within your family as it is something that is personal only to you.

Evidently, creating a number plate that literally spells out your family name could set you back quite a considerable amount of money and the chances are, if your surname is quite popular, then you will have missed out on this opportunity. However, don’t despair, as we at Platinum Plates can help you design your very own dvla number plate inexpensively and we even transfer these onto any chosen vehicle.

To create a personalised number plate inexpensively it requires some creativity and imagination as you will need to change letters for numbers but this too just adds to the personality of your very own number plate. For example, the letter A can be replaced with a number 4, the letter E with a 3 and as the letter I cannot be used, the number 1 could replace that. A good tip for trying to create your own number plate is to decide what name you’d like to include and think of alternative ways of spelling it and how you can replace certain letters with numbers and vice versa.
