As the founder of New Reg and someone who has spent the past 35 years immersed in the world of number plates, I’ve witnessed firsthand the excitement that each new registrations series brings. The anticipation surrounding the release of the new 75 plates is no exception. If you’re as eager as many of our customers to know when these number plates will be available and how you can personalise them to make a statement on the road, you’ve come to the right place.
Understanding the DVLA’s Registration Cycle
Firstly, it’s essential to grasp how the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) issues new registration marks. Twice a year, in March and September, the DVLA releases a new series of standard issue plates. This bi-annual update keeps things fresh and allows vehicle owners to display the most current registration numbers.
- March Releases: These plates take the last two digits of the year. For instance, in March 2025, the new 25 plates will be issued.
- September Releases: These plates add 50 to the year’s last two digits. So, come September 2025, we’ll see the introduction of the 75 number plates.
So, to answer the burning question: the new 75 plates will be assignable from September 1st, 2025, however, they will be available to secure a few weeks before this date.
How do I pre-order 75 private number plates?
In short, you can’t pre-order any private registrations ahead of their release by DVLA. Some dealers make false claims about pre-reservation, but in truth the very best way to secure the DVLA personalised registration that you want is to register with every trustworthy dealer, and in addition, try the DVLA personalised registrations website yourself on the day of release. Certainly, don’t put all your eggs in one basket where buying your 75 private plates in advance is concerned, because the more people trying to buy on your behalf, the better!
The DVLA don’t publicise an exact timescale for a new release’s availability to be purchased, but if history is anything to go by, private registration plates enthusiasts and private number plates dealers alike normally get a few weeks headwind. Registering your interest in a particular combination early is advisable and whilst
What Makes the 75 Plates Special?
Every new release brings a flurry of activity, and the 75 number plates will hold just as unique appeal. The number 75 can represent significant dates like year of birth 1975 , or simply personal preference. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday or just fancy a personalised look for your new vehicle, the 75 plates offer a fantastic opportunity.
Personalising Your 75 Number Plate
While standard issue 75 plates will be a common sight, private number plates can set you apart. Here’s how you can make the most of the new 75 series:
- Exclusive Combinations: By purchasing a 75 personalised number plate, you can select letters and numbers that have personal meaning. For example, if your initials are J.S., you might opt for JS75.
- Mark Significant Events: Perhaps 1975 was a special year for you or a loved one. A 75 private registration plate can be a nod to that memorable time.
- Stand Out on the Road: Personalised 75 number plates not only add a touch of individuality but can also make your vehicle more memorable. If you refer to my earlier article on how to visualise words on number plates, you may be lucky enough to find a 75 combination that really turns heads, like JE75 TAR (Jet Star) or CA75 EYE (Cats Eye). Avoid misrepresenting your DVLA number plates as any manipulation of characters could result in a hefty fine!

Standard Issue 75 Plates vs. Personalised Number Plates
It’s important to distinguish between the standard issue 75 plates and the personalised number plates featuring the 75 mark.
Standard Issue 75 Plates:
Assigned automatically to new vehicles registered from September 1st, 2025.
Format typically follows two letters, the 75 number, followed by three letters (e.g., AB75 XYZ).
No personalisation; the sequence is allocated by the DVLA and you just get what your given subject to the region that you register your vehicle
75 Personalised Number Plates:
Purchased separately through trustworthy providers like New Reg.
Offer the flexibility to choose specific letter and number combinations (e.g., JS75 JAS, MY75 CAR).
Can be assigned to vehicles first registered as new on or after September 1st 2025, giving you control over your vehicle’s identity.

The Growing Popularity of Private Number Plates
Over the years, I’ve seen a significant increase in the number of drivers opting for personalised registrations. The reasons are as varied as the individuals themselves:
Personal Identity: Your vehicle becomes an extension of who you are.
Investment Potential: Certain number plates can appreciate over time, making them a savvy investment.
Gifts: 75 private number plates can make a unique and memorable gift for a 75th birthday or a 50th Birthday for someone born in 1975, also for anniversaries and other occasions where number 75 is of relevance.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls
When purchasing a 75 private number plate, be mindful of the following:
Beware of Overpricing: Some sellers may inflate prices. Always compare options and trust reputable providers. Remember, the more private plate dealers that you register with the better, and New Reg always strive to be the cheapest!
Understand the Transfer Process: Assigning your new private number plate plate to your vehicle involves specific steps. Ensure you’re clear on the process or seek assistance.
Check Vehicle Eligibility: 75 plates cannot be assigned to older vehicles. You cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it is (i.e. assigning a 75 plate to a car from 2010).
Alternatives and Other Options
If a 75 registration isn’t quite your perfect personalised number plate, there are other avenues to explore:
Dateless Plates: These registrations don’t indicate the vehicle’s age, offering complete discretion.
Prefix and Suffix Plates: Older styles that might hold personal significance or desired letter and number combinations.
