Plate types and registration explained
Private, commercial, taxi, and temporary plates — what each means for price, use, and transfer.
Why plate type matters
The plate category affects what the car can legally be used for, its insurance, and its resale value. Two identical cars can differ in price purely because of their plates.
Filter by plate type on the search page when it matters to how you'll use the car.
Transferring ownership
Ownership transfer must be completed at the registration office with both parties present and valid IDs. Never hand over full payment before the transfer is done.
Keep copies of every signed document, and confirm there are no outstanding fines attached to the car before you sign.
