Gift a plate

The one gift that never gets re-gifted.

A private plate is personal, permanent and impossible to get wrong — it arrives gift-ready on a DVLA certificate, and they choose when to put it on their car. No sizes, no receipts, no returns.

Held on a DVLA certificate — valid for 10 years, renewable forever. They assign it to any car, whenever they're ready.
How gifting works

You buy it. They choose when to use it.

The certificate is the clever bit: the plate is theirs from day one, but nothing touches their car until they say so.

1

Pick their plate

Browse the gift picks below, or run the plate finder with their name, birthday and hobbies — it builds a shortlist for you.

2

We make it gift-ready

The registration is held on a DVLA certificate, and the digital reveal is scheduled for the exact moment — their car, their plate, their name.

3

They assign it, whenever

Next week or next year — when they're ready, our team handles the DVLA transfer, tracked step-by-step.

Only at RegBolt

Gifting, upgraded

Chip in together

One plate, the whole family. Create the gift, share your chip-in link, and everyone contributes what they like. When it's fully funded, the reveal unlocks — and every contributor gets credited in the message.

The reveal

Upload a photo of their car, pick the plate, write your message. They open a cinematic 15-second reveal on their phone — their car, their plate — built to be filmed and shared. Schedule it for the exact moment, or send the link yourself.

12 months of RegVault for them

Every gift includes a year of RegVault for the recipient — their plate lands in their own vault with live valuations, market alerts and renewal reminders. The gift that keeps track of itself.

Gift vouchers, if you'd rather they choose

Not sure which plate? A RegBolt gift voucher lands in the same reveal experience — they pick their own plate, you keep the credit.

Three promises

Impossible to get wrong

1

It never expires into nothing

The certificate is valid for 10 years and renewals can be managed through RegVault — the plate stays theirs until the day they use it.

2

They pick the moment

Between cars? Mid-lease? Doesn't matter. They assign it when life is ready, with our team doing the paperwork.

3

Last-minute friendly

The digital reveal is instant — schedule it for the birthday morning or send the link yourself, right up to the last second.

Good questions

Gifting a plate, answered

How does it stay a surprise?
Everything is addressed to you until the moment they open the reveal. The certificate doesn't touch their vehicle or their DVLA record — so nothing spoils it.
How does group gifting work?
Create the gift, share your chip-in link, and family or friends contribute whatever they like. When it's fully funded, the reveal unlocks and everyone who chipped in gets credited in the message.
What is the digital reveal?
A cinematic web page built around their actual car — upload a photo, pick the plate, add your message, and they open a 15-second reveal on their phone, designed to be filmed and shared. A physical gift box with a QR to the same reveal is coming soon.
How long can they wait before using it?
Up to 10 years on the certificate, renewable. Through RegVault (12 months free with every gift), they'll get renewal reminders so it never quietly lapses.
What if they wanted something slightly different?
Many gifters shortlist two or three plates with the plate finder and let the recipient make the final call — the certificate makes that easy before any transfer is submitted.
