The Registration Mark cannot be used to make a vehicle look younger than it actually is, for example, 'S' prefix marks can only be assigned to vehicles first registered as new on or after the 1st of August, 1998.
The Registration Mark must be displayed correctly. To mis-space or mis-represent the letters and numbers in any way are an offence under the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 1971. Subsequently, all registration marks sold by The Company are sold on the understanding that The Number Plates will be displayed in accordance with Section 17 of the Road Vehicles Regulations Act 1971.
In the event that The Registration Mark is a previously 'Unissued Government Stock registration mark', our service and obligation are fully discharged by securing and acquiring The Registration Mark on behalf of The Purchaser; specifying the chosen nominee on the V750 Certificate of Entitlement.
Under The Consumer Contracts Regulations, The Company must notify you that the service we provide begins as soon as The Registration Mark is reserved on your behalf, subsequently, there is no 'cooling off period', the transaction cannot be reversed and no refund can be given.
If requested, The Company will handle the transfer of The Registration Mark to a vehicle registered of The Purchaser for a basic transfer charge of £23.94. If additional connected transfers or retentions are required simultaneously The Company will charge an additional administration charge of £23.94.
The Purchaser agrees to send the recipient vehicle documents as requested by The Company within 3 weeks unless otherwise arranged and documented within our system and confirmed by us in writing.
In the event that The Company is unable to submit the necessary paperwork to the DVLA within 12 weeks from receipt of all The Purchaser documents, and provided that The Purchaser is not responsible for the failure, The Company will refund payment in full.
In no circumstances shall The Company be made responsible for any failed transfers or disappointments. In such cases, any payment made shall be refunded in full, provided that the failure is through no fault of The Purchaser. The Company liability is strictly limited to a full refund only and no claims for damages, interest on money paid or any other expenses shall be entertained; whether or not The Company has been made aware of these items.
The Retention Certificate or Certificate of Entitlement displaying The Company as the grantee or purchaser shall only be released upon request from The Purchaser.

Where a registration mark is previously an ‘Unissued Government Stock registration mark’, acrylic number plates may optionally be purchased from The Company, at an extra cost to you. Number plates shall be dispatched to The Purchaser upon receipt of identity documentation. Please note that it is against the law to display The Number Plates before the transfer has been completed.
If The Registration Mark you are purchasing is a previously 'Unissued Government Stock registration mark'; the name of the person or company in whose name the vehicle is to be registered shall be specified as the nominee. These details can be added to or changed later for an administration charge of £35.00 payable to The Company. DVLA only accepts applications to amend from The Company.
If you choose to sell The Registration Mark before assigning it to your vehicle you must provide The Company with the name of the new buyer in writing, in addition to any relevant fees payable for additional service(s) as shown in these Terms and Conditions.
If The Registration Mark you are purchasing is a previously 'Unissued Government Stock registration mark'; it must be assigned to a vehicle in the name specified as the nominee. The Company has no way of knowing if The Purchaser has assigned The Registration Mark and if The Registration Mark is not assigned within this period The Purchaser rights shall lapse. In such circumstances, the purchase price shall not be refunded. The Certificate of Entitlement is valid for 10 years from the date of purchase and Personal Numbers strongly advise you to assign the mark in ample time to avoid paying any additional fees.
