Choosing a personalised plate
If your ideal combination has already been taken, with just a few clever swaps you could still find one to suit.

1. Substitute numbers for letters.
Try swapping:
- Swap O with Zero or a Q
- Swap I for 1 or L
- Swap A for 4
- Swap S for 5 or Z
- Swap E for 3
- Swap B for 8
- Swap G for 6
- Swap T for 7

2. Try a different spelling
Consider dropping vowels or swapping letters that sound similar e.g ALLBLC
Frame your combination
Sometimes, framing your combination with a number or letter can help e.g ‘KARL’ is unavailable, but ‘1KARL1’ might still be free.
Not sure where to start?
If you’d like a personalised plate, but not sure which one to get, here are some ideas:
- Your name, initials or nickname
- Your lucky number, birthday or anniversary
- Your favourite sports team or hobby
- Your car brand or model or nickname
- A loved one’s name
- A private joke/memory
Your business name, service
