Number Plates as Gifts — Common Questions
-
Can I buy a private plate as a gift?Yes — personalised number plates are one of the most popular and memorable gifts. You can buy a plate and have it placed on a DVLA retention certificate in the recipient's name, or in your own name until you're ready to surprise them. New Reg also offers gift wrapping from just £5.95.
-
Does the recipient need to be present when I buy?No. You can purchase a plate without the recipient being present or even knowing about it. The plate can be held on a retention certificate until you're ready to transfer it to their vehicle.
-
Can I buy without knowing the recipient's car details?Yes. You can buy a plate and keep it on retention without specifying a vehicle. When the recipient is ready, they simply provide their vehicle details and the plate is assigned by the DVLA.
-
How do I transfer a plate I bought as a gift?Once the recipient has a vehicle ready, the retention certificate is used to assign the plate via the DVLA. New Reg handles the entire transfer process on your behalf — just provide the vehicle registration and log book details.
-
Is a personalised plate a good gift idea?Absolutely. A personalised number plate is a unique, long-lasting gift that the recipient sees every day. Popular for birthdays, Christmas, driving test passes, and retirements — and unlike most gifts, a good plate can hold or increase its value over time.
