How to Give Personalised Number Plates as a Present?

When buying a gift for somebody, especially if that person is a loved one, it’s very hard to surprise them with something new after a while. If you are struggling to buy a gift and are seeking inspiration, a personal gift plate can be a great choice that would suit almost every occasion. Whether it’s a birthday gift or a wedding gift, a personalised number plate would be an excellent choice for almost anybody, whether they already have a car or they are planning to get one in the future, the number plate can be held on a certificate indefinitely, and they can assign it to a vehicle whenever they want to.

How does it work?

Gifting someone a personalised number plate is easier than you think. In fact, deciding what you want to put on the plate is probably the hardest part. After you’ve made your mind on what you’d like the plate to say (whether it is a name, date or a funny message), you need to go on a website specialised in selling number plates. You won’t need any vehicle documents at the time of purchase, these will only be needed for the transfer of the registration, which can be done by the gift receiver later on. After that, the registration number will be added to a certificate, which will contain your name as the ‘purchase’ and the gift receiver’s name as the ‘nominee’. You can request to have the plate delivered at any location you wish, whether it is your home, the receiver’s home, or your work place. If you are not ready to give the gift just yet, then you can keep it for a year before handing it over. After one year you will be charged £25 by the DVLA to renew it.
