What are Short Number Plates?
Make a statement with short number plates from TopReg. These punchy, to-the-point plates are perfect for drivers who are keen to leave a lasting impression on the roads.
Short number plates are also known as “cherished plates” or “dateless plates”, only shorter. Short number plates get their name from their concise combination of letters and numbers, a shorter format than standard plates. They’re a popular choice for car owners looking to personalise their vehicles and stand out.
With a TopReg short private plate, you can ditch the standard issue and choose a combination that reflects your personality and complements your car’s style.
The Perks of Owning a Short Number Plate
In the UK, owning a short number plate is more than just a way to personalise your car — it’s a symbol of prestige. These unique and exclusive plates can be quite valuable, making them a worthwhile investment. Plus, they can even increase your actual vehicle’s resale value, adding to its worth. If you’re looking for a short number plate you’ll cherish forever, you can always transfer the plate to another vehicle later on.
Short number plates are often synonymous with expensive number plates — take a look at The World’s 10 Most Expensive Number Plates and see for yourself.

2 Digit Number Plates
Two-digit number plates (also known as 1x1 number plates) are some of the most valuable short number plates issued by the DVLA. While short plates typically feature combinations of one to four numbers and one to four letters (in either order), two-digit plates offer a more unique and concise option.
3 Digit Number Plates
Three-digit number plates, also issued by the DVLA, are another unique style of short registration plates. Unlike the more common dateless plates with mixed groups of one to four numbers and letters, three-digit plates offer a more streamlined, numeric look.
4 Digit Number Plates
Four-digit short number plates are a highly sought-after type of short registration. This is because these plates often resemble familiar names, such as TOM4, EVA1, or SAM2, offering a distinct and personalised touch. While these registrations are usually bought at auctions, many UK drivers sell their four-digit plates via TopReg.
5 Digit Number Plates
With a broader range of combinations available, five-digit plates offer a fantastic opportunity to personalise your vehicle and make it your own. While not as concise as their two, three, or four digit counterparts, they still provide a high degree of individuality and personalisation. These plates, like all dateless registrations, are issued by the DVLA and sold via us at TopReg.
6 Digit Number Plates
Six-digit number plates offer a fantastic opportunity to personalise your vehicle and make it truly yours. With a wider range of available combinations, you’re sure to find something that resonates with you. While perhaps not as instantly recognisable as shorter plates, a six-digit registration from the DVLA still allows you to express your individuality on the road. Find the perfect six-digit plate to make your car stand out from the crowd with TopReg.
