Given that the law compels every motorist on the UK's roads to display an identifying number plate, it is not surprising that people have found ways to turn that restriction into a bit of fun. A compulsory vehicle registration may have been introduced for tedious bureaucratic reasons, but people have come to realise that, by selecting the characters displayed on their plates, they are often able to contrive combinations that look very much like names and words. These personal touches help an otherwise run-of-the-mill car to stand out from any number of identical vehicles.

Cherished number plates, such as WET 794, consist of a string of letters and numbers which provide a unique identifying mark for each vehicle licensed to use the roads in the United Kingdom. The number plates used to display this identifying registration number have to conform to stringent standards and specifications to ensure legibility and visibility. Recently the regulations pertaining to the display of DVLA registrations have become more and more strict as the authorities attempt to combat crime and traffic offences.

Cherished number plates is sometimes seen as an odd choice of description for what we provide to our clients. Many people prefer the terms 'personalised registration plates' or 'personal car number plates' - but in many cases, cherished number plates (such as WET 794) is exactly what they are. It is not at all uncommon for clients to tell us that they have been looking for a specific cherished number plate for some time.
