Irish Number Plates

Dateless and attractive

More and more people are now realising the potential of Irish number plates, which can be legally transferred onto vehicles in England, Scotland or Wales.

One of the main attractions of Irish number plates is that the numbering sequence is different from that in the rest of the UK. Therefore, these plates offer an inexpensive way of having a dateless registration on your car. Of course, dateless registrations may be assigned to a vehicle of any age, which makes Irish registrations even more attractive to prospective buyers.

It is worth noting, however, that the term Irish number plates, as most widely used, refers to plates issued in Northern Ireland, as opposed to the Republic of Ireland. In fact, registrations issued in the Republic of Ireland cannot be transferred to cars in Britain, nor can British registrations be transfered to the Republic of Ireland.

Irish number plates may contain the letters I and Z, which generally aren't used on other UK number plates. This is another reason that many people find Irish number plates particularly attractive. If your initials contain an I or Z, you don't really have any other alternative! And with prices starting at just £95, who's to complain? You could have your ultimate personalised registration for under one hundred pounds!

It's these letters that make certain attractive combinations - BAZ, GAZ, BIG, ZIT, and DIG are just some of the letter combinations that can be made and, unsurprisingly, it's these combinations that can fetch a little more than the £95 starting price of regular Irish registrations!

Irish number plates offer a superb, cost-effective way of hiding the age of your car - a luxury which sadly isn't available with DVLA number plates. With literally thousands of combinations available on plates of this kind, many people see them as a way of hiding the age of your car and personalising your vehicle without appearing overtly 'snobbish'.

The transfer process for Irish number plates is slightly more complicated than for other personalised registrations, but if you buy through a reputable dealer, such as Regtransfers.co.uk, they will handle all the paperwork throughout the transfer process.
