Product and service categories

Name and initial plates

Name plates include combinations based on first names, surnames and shortened names. Initial plates include two or three-letter combinations, with numbers forming part of the registration. Some combinations use numbers in place of similar-looking letters.

Car-related plates

Car-related registrations include combinations inspired by vehicle makes and models. These can use abbreviations, short brand cues or number-led references. Some combinations bring personal initials together with a car-related cue.

Sports plates

Sports-themed registrations include football and golf ideas. The range also covers activities such as cricket, fishing, racing and skiing. Football combinations can refer to a club, team or player initials.

Pet plates

Pet-themed registrations can refer to an animal's name or breed, or use an animal-related word or phrase. Some combinations use numbers in place of letters.

Funny and rude plates

Funny registrations include words, jokes, phrases and puns. Rude plates include suggestive wording, innuendo and double meanings. These ideas appear across different registration formats.

Dateless and cherished plates

Dateless registrations have no age identifier. The formats listed include combinations described as one by one, one by two and two by two, through to three by three. Cherished registrations include older styles, often dateless or early suffix plates.

Prefix, suffix and current-style plates

Prefix registrations start with a letter, followed by numbers and three letters. Suffix registrations place the year letter at the end, after letters and numbers. Current-style registrations use two letters, a two-digit age identifier and three further letters.

Motorbike plates

National Numbers lists private registrations for motorbikes in formats including dateless, cherished, suffix and current styles. Searches can use a name, initials, racing number or engine size. Motorcycle registrations are normally displayed over two lines, with some exceptions for older motorcycles.
