DVLA Personalised Registrations will make prices for its list of more than eight million 55 series registrations available from May 9, three weeks earlier than planned due to the volume of public enquiries the government agency is receiving.

"We have had more than double the usual number of enquiries we would expect for a new registration series," explained Byron Roberts, Marketing Manager for DVLA Personalised Registrations. "We believe the popularity stems from a general increase in interest for current style plates and this particular series lends itself particularly well to personalisation," he added.

Full details of all marks for sale will be posted on the DVLA Personalised Registrations website, www.dvlaregistrations.co.uk, from May 9.
