History
CarReg UK was founded in 1988 by Jason Wilkes in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. It began operations as Personally Your Registrations (PYR) with the goal of simplifying the process of purchasing personalised and private number plates. Later on in 1990, PYR rebranded as CarReg UK.[1]
During COVID in 2020, the company recorded huge sales of personalised numbers. But many of the COVID related plates were later withdrawn to avoid offence.[2]
In 2023, CarReg expanded to facilitate clients collection and delivery of number plates and original DVLA documentation by opening local offices in major towns and cities across England.[3] In 2024, the company acquired a new machine that makes the printing of number plates faster.[4]
Community Involvement
CarReg UK supports various local charities and participates in events to promote road safety and responsible driving.[5]
