Honest, Hassle Free, and Efficient Service
Quick and Comprehensive Transfer Service at NO additional costSince our formation in 2020, Big Reg has been on a mission:
“To make buying, selling, and transferring personalised (cherished) number plates as seamless and secure as possible.”
In just a few years, we’ve become one of the fastest-growing approved DVLA number plate resellers in the UK — a reputation built on trust, transparency, and exceptional customer service.
We specialise in helping customers find the perfect personalised registration — whether it represents your name, your business, or you simply want something unique. Our expert team handles everything from sourcing rare plates to managing the entire transfer process with care and precision.
What sets us apart isn’t just our inventory or our ability to sell your number plate quickly, it’s our commitment to doing things the right way. We are officially approved by the DVLA as a Registered Number Plate Supplier (no: 70389), and we fully comply with all DVLA trading standards and regulations. This recognition underscores our promise to deliver services that are both safe and legally compliant.
In every transaction, we prioritise:
⭐ Security – Our online ordering and payment systems are fully encrypted, ensuring your data and payments are always protected.
⭐ Compliance – We strictly adhere to all DVLA rules and UK laws governing number plate sales and transfers.
⭐ Integrity – We operate our business with ethics, honesty, and customer transparency at its core.
⭐ Customer Care – From start to finish, we provide expert support to ensure a smooth and satisfying experience.
We’re proud of the trust we’ve built in such a short time, and we’re only getting started. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply curious about personalised number plates as an investment, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

At Big Reg our operational business infrastructure is compliant with the PCI DSS, which is a worldwide security standard assembled by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC).
The PCI security standards are technical and operational requirements that were created to help organisations prevent payment card fraud, hacking and various other security vulnerabilities and threats.
Our online payments are securely handled by Stripe, which uses industry-leading encryption and security technology.
For your protection, Big Reg never stores your payment card details — all payments are processed directly by Stripe, who verify your card details and billing address for added security.
Big Reg has chosen to support five charities that we believe do outstanding work. We donate a portion of our website sales to a fund that is distributed quarterly to our chosen charities.

Yes, of course you can. Private registrations make special gifts. You can secure the registration mark for your loved one now and assign it to a vehicle later. It’s OK to purchase a registration under the name of someone else (known as the ‘Nominee’).
We offer flexible 0% payment options at checkout. Clearpay (Pay in 4 interest-free payments) and Klarna (Pay in 3 interest-free payments). 18+, T&Cs apply. Credit subject to status.
We accept Credit or Debit Card payments and we also accept payments directly from your Bank or Building Society account.
Credit or debit card: You can pay online via our web site using most major credit and debit cards.
Pay directly from your Bank or Building Society account. Transferring credit directly to our bank account can be just as quick as paying by credit or debit card. Please contact us if this is your preferred payment method.
Government rules are very clear, you cannot display a number plate that makes your car look newer than it actually is. Many registration marks carry an 'age identifier', this is the date when the registration was released. It is important to check the age of the receiving vehicle. If you are unsure, please contact us for advice prior to purchase.
We aim to have most of our customers transfers concluded within 7 days, but we often conclude these much sooner. If you choose to go it alone and carry out the transfer yourself, it usually takes longer. We’ll let you know as soon as the DVLA confirms the transfer is successful and says it’s OK to display your new registration on your vehicle.
With the fully managed ‘done-for-you’ service, we handle all paperwork processing and coordinate the legal assignment to the vehicle.
We recommend this service for customers who want the entire assignment process to run as smoothly and quickly as possible. It’s included as standard in our 'all-inclusive' package!
This service includes the administering of all relevant documentation with the DVLA, we will conclude the transfer and send confirmation when it is complete, we arrange for a new V5C to be issued on completion, and confirm the DVLA TAX & MOT computer systems are updated with details of your new registration.
