Yes, you can retain old classic numbers from classic vehicles to new vehicles too!

Step 1: Acquire a new Vehicle Registration Number(VRN), you can buy a vehicle with an existing plate, and “Retain Existing VRN” and you will have a spare VRN under your name, or take part in the bidding exercise on LTA. For more information, just search “Bidding VRN Singapore” on google

Step 2: Go make some new plates

I’ve made plates from many different vendors, from shops to people on carousell… they cost from $60 to $150. After going to many different places, I realize that there is no difference, just know what you need and go make the plates.

I’ve done this at Smart Plate Pte Ltd. They are fast and very affordable. Beats any shops in Sin Ming area by a large magnitude.

Step 3:

Go and get a “seal inspection”

It costs $11.99 at Vicom Sin Ming. I’ve been there several times so I’m familiar with the place.
