Swiftreg has a database of over 50 million private number plates and registrations can be found in all the different number plate styles.

 

• Prefix - 1 letter, followed by 1-3 numbers, and 3 letters. (e.g. K752 LPH)
• Suffix - 3 letters, followed by a number that could be 1 - 3 digits, and 1 letter. (e.g. FJH 348S)

What if I can’t find my registration?

 

As car registration plates have to follow specific combinations of letters and numbers it can sometimes be tricky to find the exact phrase you are looking for. This is where a bit of creativity can come in handy. If your number plate search is not providing you with suitable results, think about switching some letters around, or replacing letters with numbers.

 

Commonly seen switches when using a car plate finder is to use a ‘7’ as a ‘T’ or ‘Y’, a ‘4’ as an ‘H’ or a ‘3’ as an ‘E’. Changing a letter for a number can provide you with an expanded search and a larger number of registration options to choose from. To find a number plate that is customised for you, the Swiftreg Advanced Search will allow you to search for combinations of specific letters and numbers in prefix and current plate styles.

 

Use the drop-down menus to choose from available letters and enter ones of your choosing in the appropriate search boxes. The engine will search the millions of registrations that are in the database and return options that are available for purchase.

 

A popular prefix for car number plates is ‘BUS7’ (BUSY), and using the current style number plate search box reveals available plates that read as follows:

 

Busy Daz (Busy Darren/David)

 

Busy Mad (Busy Madeline/Madison)

 

Busy Mam (Busy Mam/Mum)

 

Prefix style plates can sometimes be harder to find due to limited availability and cost, but the Swiftreg private number plate search can make life easier. By using the drop-down menu and choosing letters words or phrases can be designed that are witty or humorous to other drivers on the road.

 

All kinds of different words can be created that will make other road users chuckle like:

 

Loser

 

Poser

 

Joker

 

Playing around with letters and numbers using the advanced registration finder will give you variations of your word or phrase. To add your own personality to your vehicle, think about things you like to do or hobbies you enjoy. A variation of your name or the job you do could also make a great reg plate.

 

Finding that perfect registration feels like you have hit the jackpot, but if it doesn’t quite fit your budget remember that there are other number plate formats that you can use. Many of which may come close to your desired private plate but at a substantially lower cost. Current style plates are versatile and when searching for a private plate this format often has more alternatives available than other registration formats.
