Buying Irish number plates is a different way to get a personalised number plate for your car and also make a statement with something a bit different. This is only in Northern Ireland though as Southern Irish plates cannot be changed and therefore getting a personalised plate or selling a number plate is not an option there. However, there are a good range of Northern Irish number plates available for sale and so by considering these, you can really extend the options available to you.
An Irish number plate has certain features. It always has either an I or Z in the letters and from one to four numbers. There is no way of telling the date that the plate was issued and so many people prefer an Irish plate just because it can mask the age of their car. Of course you can do this with any personalised number plate but with some plates showing an age, people may make an assumption about the age of your car from it. It can be desirable to not allow people to do this.
There is also the potential for having some really interesting words with the letter I or Z in, which the Irish number plate will offer you. If you are having trouble finding the right plate for your from the selection available then expanding your search to an Irish one could really help. It could also make yours stand out from the rest more because it will be that little bit different.
It is worth comparing the prices as well because chances are that the Irish ones will be different and so you may end up being able to save some, you do not know until you take a look and see what is around and how much they cost. It could certainly help you if you are on a tight budget, so take a look and see.
Some Irish plates are available from the DVLA in the normal way but others are issued slightly differently and so you will need to check the details of this. It should be easy enough to find out, once you have decided on the registration plate that you would like to purchase. It is also fully legal as long as you go through the DVLA as you would have to with any change of registration.
Getting an Irish plate is a great way to stand out from the crowd. Not only will it be a personalised plate but one that is a bit different. If you want to draw attention to your car and yourself then this is a great way of doing it. It is also different to most of the other personalised plates around which means that, even with the fact that personal plates are growing in popularity, yours will stand out from the crowd. So if you really want to make a big statement then this could be the way to go.
