Private Reg. for N.Ireland car?

[Vet_2010]

Hey!

Has anyone had any experience buying a private regsitration for a car registered in N.Ireland?
I quite fancy one to make the Civic stand out that bit more, but from what I've found so far it either costs significantly more to transfer a mainland reg to NI, or to find a half decently short NI reg is near enough impossible

I found a couple of nice reasonably priced reg's on DVLA Personalised registrations, but I presume thats for mainland UK only?

Any help is much appreciated,

Cheers!

I have just checked on the DVLNI site and they state:

Please Note: If you purchase a registration mark from DVLA it must first be assigned to a GB vehicle and cannot be directly assigned to a NI registered vehicle.

So you will have to use some other method (try the DVLNI site for recommendations)

Yeh seems I'll either have to settle for a short NI reg or there are some companies which carry out the Mainland to NI transfer for you, at a nice cost of course

Yeah - with Premier Plates. Takes about 2-3 months to complete. Plate itself £179 but by the time process finished was £430 approx.
