SCZ 203 is £398.00 here, £1.00 below the DVLA's published price of £399.00 (checked 16 Oct. 2026). Both prices include VAT and the £80.00 DVLA assignment fee.
Assign it yourself for nothing more, or let a team that has done this since 1989 complete it for £20.00. Number plates made and posted to your door are optional.
Prices include VAT where applicable. The DVLA assignment fee is the government’s statutory charge for assigning the registration mark to a vehicle and is paid in full to the DVLA.
No pressure, no obligation.
Will it fit my vehicle?
SCZ 203 carries no year code, so it can go on a vehicle of any age. Nothing to check.
What you are ordering
You are ordering the right to display the registration mark SCZ 203. Once we have secured it for you, it is yours. Every UK registration mark is unique, so this is the only one there is.
You are ordering the private plate only. Number plates are not included, so you will need a registered supplier to make them, and they must see your ID and your entitlement to the registration mark first. You can add a set above at any time before you check out.
- Style
- Northern Irish
- Age restriction
- None
- Certificate
- V750 certificate
How this registration mark is put together
SCZ 203 is made up of 2 parts. Point at one to see what it does.
- Letters SCZ
- The part that usually carries a name or initials.
- Numbers 203
- Chosen, not assigned. Low and round numbers are the scarce ones.
Northern Irish private plates carry no year code, so they fit a vehicle of any age anywhere in the UK. The letter I or Z in the middle is what makes them Northern Irish, and it is often read as a 1 on the road.
How it works, step by step
- You order the private plate. You pay when you order, once we have confirmed SCZ 203 is still available, and we secure it straight after. If we are unable to supply it, you receive a full refund.
- Your V750 certificate is issued naming you as the person entitled to assign it, and nobody else can be nominated while it is yours. If you are assigning the private plate yourself, we post it to you, so allow a few days.
- You assign it to a vehicle yourself with DVLA Swansea, or hold it on the certificate until you are ready, or ask our trained staff to assign it to your vehicle for you.
- Your new V5C log book arrives showing the new registration mark.
- Tell your insurer, and anything else that knows your car by its registration, such as parking apps and breakdown cover.
Your money & your rights
- You pay when you order, once we have confirmed SCZ 203 is still available, and we secure it straight after. If we are unable to supply it, you receive a full refund.
- The price you see is the price you pay. No listing fee, no admin fee, no surprise at the checkout.
Cancellation. You ask us to begin at once so the private plate can be secured, and tick a box saying so, which is what puts it outside the cancellation rights in the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013. Once the registration mark has been secured for you it cannot be cancelled: it is reserved and personal to you. If you change your mind, tell us in writing; for a £50.00 fee including VAT we refund any parts of your order not yet fulfilled and ask the DVLA once to cancel the documentation and refund the fee. Number plates are outside them for a different reason: they are made to display one registration mark and nothing else. This does not affect your other legal rights.

Common questions
Is SCZ 203 cheaper here than from the DVLA?
SCZ 203 is £398.00 here, £1.00 below the DVLA's published price of £399.00 (checked 16 Oct. 2026). Both prices include VAT and the £80.00 DVLA assignment fee. Assign it yourself at no further cost, or add number plates or our assignment service if you want them; the DVLA offers neither.
Can I put this on any vehicle?
Any vehicle, of any age. This registration mark carries no year code. The vehicle must also be registered in the UK, taxed or on SORN, and available for inspection if the DVLA asks.
Do I have to put it on a car straight away?
No. Your V750 certificate holds the private plate in your name. You can keep it on the certificate and assign it whenever you like, as long as you renew the certificate before it expires.
What happens to my current registration?
Your vehicle’s original registration goes back to the DVLA. If you want to keep it, tell us before we start and we will put it on a V750 certificate that names you instead.
Can I buy this as a gift?
Yes. We can put the certificate in the recipient’s name, or in yours so you can hand it over. Tell us which when you order.
How long does it take?
Most transfers complete within a couple of weeks. Certificates come by post, which is usually the slowest part. We will keep you posted at each stage.
Is this an investment?
Some private plates have risen in value and some have not. We do not give investment advice and we make no promise about future value. Buy it because you want it.
