    You can't. There is no provision in Ireland to re-register or change the registration of a car. No private plates, no vanity plates, nada...

    Only if you buy the car new and register it yourself. You pay more and you still have to pick a number.

    On a 98 - D your a few years too late. :p

    "Only if you buy the car new and register it yourself. You pay more and you still have to pick a number."

    yea you pick a number before the start of th new year, say 09 d 911 or something, and when that number comes up in th issue sequence it is assigned to you. you pay 250 for the service. If lots of people want the same number, (which they would for the example above) a lottery is used to select who gets it. only th winner of the lottery pays the 250.

    a couple of years ago one of my dad's friends did it, could cost a little bit more now i suppsose
