Personalised plate question.

Hi - if you buy a p/p off here do you have to have a car to put it on - or can you just keep ownership of the plates. Thanks.

tips for buying a second hand plate (e.g. on trade me).

1. We advise people buying privately (e.g. on Trademe) to first check the Entitlement to the personalised plates is under the Seller's name. This can be done through the Government Plate Manufacturer (LicenSys NZ Ltd.) on 0800 REMAKE. They can only provide a YES or NO answer due to privacy reasons.

2. Agree sale details with Seller and complete a Transfer of Entitlement Form. The Seller must hold the current Entitlement to the plates in order to do this. Retain a copy of the completed form for your records.

3. Send a copy of the completed form to:

Plate Entitlement Transfer
LicenSys NZ Ltd
PO Box 22078
Otahuhu
Auckland 1640

4. Ring 0800 REMAKE to organise manufacture of your plates (a manufacturing fee will apply).
