National Numbers: who it is

National Numbers Limited sits on the Companies House register under number 03441322, and its registered office is in Billingham. According to the company, it was established in 1981. It also works with a sister company, Jepsons & Co, the business that makes number plates.

Its Trustpilot rating was 4.8, drawn from 4,686 reviews when we checked. On Trustpilot, the profile shows as claimed and has a paid subscription.

National Numbers lists plate prices before VAT, and before the £80 DVLA fee. Both are added at checkout. Its results also show a price that includes VAT and the fee. We use that figure whenever we capture it. VAT of less than 20% applies to some of its plates, so the real total can fall a little short of a normal all-in figure.

There are several ways to spread the cost, among them Clearpay, Payl8r and Klarna for smaller amounts, plus Buyline for £3,500 to £12,500.

How the prices stack up

In our price check, National Numbers holds one of the largest stocks. Where other sellers also offer a plate, it came out cheapest on roughly one plate in five, which means another seller often had the lower all-in price on a shared plate.

Points to check before you buy

  • Use the number plate search to compare the all-in total, including VAT and the £80 fee, with other sellers.
  • Check that your car will not look newer than it is because of the plate. Look at number plate years.
  • Before you pick a plan, read the finance terms and APR. Look at private plate finance.
  • Find out whether the number will be transferred for you, or whether you will get the V750 so you can assign the plate yourself.
