Frequently Asked Questions

• What type of number plate is SME 71N? +
  SME 71N is a Suffix style number plate (letters + number + letter). Personalised number plates have no official meaning — they are combinations of letters and numbers issued by the DVLA.

  NewReg.co.uk currently lists SME 71N at £1,690, with a total all-in cost from £1,770 including the £80 DVLA transfer fee.

Full DVLA transfer handling is included at no extra charge beyond the £80 DVLA fee. Finance is also available from approximately £150 per month (0% APR, subject to status).
• Why are some SME 71N listings priced much lower than the market rate? +
  Some dealers advertise plates with a headline figure such as “from £200”, which can refer to their minimum site-wide price rather than an actual price for SME 71N. The genuine market value of SME 71N reflects its specific characteristics — plate format, letter combination, rarity and any name or word that buyers may associate with it. NewReg lists SME 71N at £1,690 — the true market price — with a price match guarantee: if you find SME 71N legitimately offered cheaper by another UK dealer, we will beat that price.
• What is included when I buy SME 71N from NewReg? +
  Your purchase of SME 71N from NewReg includes: full DVLA transfer service — we handle all paperwork on your behalf at no extra charge beyond the standard DVLA transfer fee, a certificate of entitlement, and road-legal acrylic number plates. The £80 DVLA transfer fee is shown separately at checkout and paid direct to the DVLA. NewReg has been a DVLA-recognised reseller and CNDA member since 1991.
• When was SME 71N first issued? +
  SME 71N was first made available at a DVLA auction in March 2018, when the registration was released to the public for the first time.

• Can I put SME 71N on my car? +
  Under DVLA rules, a number plate cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is. SME 71N can be assigned to a vehicle first registered in 1974 or earlier — it cannot be placed on a vehicle registered after that date.
