Plates4Less has devised the term “Partner Plates” for plates that meld the names or initials of two individuals along with a meaningful number.
For those embarking on this thoughtful gesture, initiating with your partner’s name or initials is advisable. Below are some formats that conform to government-issued plate guidelines:
- Your initials + 04 + Partner’s Initials
- Your initials + significant number* + Partner’s 3 initials
- First Initial + significant number* + 3-letter Abbreviated Surname
- Marriage Month Letter + Day + 3 initials
- MI55/ MR MR51 + Initials/ 3-letter name/ 3-letter Abbreviated Surname
*Significant numbers could include marriage year, house number, birthdays, or other meaningful figures.
For those whose partners may not have a vehicle or a driving licence, creating potential private number plate ideas can be a touching and cost-free way to express your affection. This can be facilitated on the Plates4Less website, where you can also create a shortlist to determine their preferred option.
