A number plate that you have specifically chosen and bought for your vehicle is called a personalised number plate. They are popular in the UK, especially at this time of year when people may buy them as presents. Quite often, people won’t necessarily be looking for a personalised number plate – they may just see one that is appropriate for them.
A personalised number plate will usually be one that has something appropriate on it for you. If you have a nickname, for example, you might be able to find a number plate that has your nickname on it. The ‘words’ will usually be made up of various numbers and letters, put together to make other numbers and letters. You won’t be able to create your own but you can look out for one that is apt for you. It can be nice to personalise your car and make it mean something to you by using a personalised number plate.
