Irish car number plates - information and legalities

Buy a Personalised Number Plate Online at:

Since the introduction of the new style number plates, the UK has seen a significant increase in the purchase of personalised registrations. Irish car number plates are an ideal alternative especially if the budget is tight as prices can be at least £50 cheaper than standard DVLA registrations. And Irish plates are perfect for disguising the age of a motor vehicle, as they have nothing to indicate how old the car is.

Purchasing a personalised number plate is relatively easy, especially as there are so many options open to you in terms of where and how you shop. A browse on the Internet, a flick through the newspaper or maybe a visit to your local DVLA office will provide you with all the information you need for finding your perfect registration.

Some may ask if Irish number plates are actually legal in the UK. It is legal to buy an Irish registration provided that it has been registered in Ireland beforehand. If you have any doubts or would like to find out for peace of mind, the DVLA will be able to make all the necessary checks for you. It is important that when attaching any registration to your vehicle, whether it is an Irish one or one that you have designed yourself that it complies with the rules and regulations set out by the DVLA.

The format of Irish number plates starts with three letters followed by four random numbers. The letters are said to represent the area in which the car was originally registered and usually contains an I or a Z, for example VBZ 2960. Although the plates contain an unusual formation of numbers and letters, they must still be displayed according to the regulations set out by the DVLA. It is possible to pick up an Irish number plate that contains only a couple of numbers, for example AAZ 30. One like this would set you back a tidy sum of £1141. Irish number plates tend not to be that attractive to most buyers, but the ones with fewer numbers tend to be more sought after and subsequently more expensive.
