selling an irish numberplate

Lirin

It's a Northern Irish plate, which means it is a British plate, not a Southern Irish. Southern Irish plates would be something like 01-D-12345.
Northern Ireland is part of the UK, but not part of Great Britian. (Generally speaking.) My passport says GB as well, and I would class myself as British. It comes under the rule of The United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland.

TBH, the plate is probably not worth a lot.

Apparently it's worth £475 on regtransfers....but I never did believe that they would get anywhere close to those prices!

As Lirin says, it's a UK plate so DVLA Swansea can handle the transfer. It costs £85 to transfer a plate, and that includes the cost of your new registration number (but not the actual plates).

Oh, and NI has special status as marcowil states. I've previously held a UK (not GB) passport, and currently have an Irish one. I could have both at the same time if I wanted to.

We are not part of GB. We are however part of the UK. We are also part of the British Isles (but that's a geographical reference rather than an administrative one) as is ROI. It probably doesn't matter to anyone who doesn't live here, but the debates I've seen on the NI board over this exact question :eek:

Makes you proud to be Irish / British .

lol- always fun to go into history when an online order tries charging international rates to ship to Ireland!

bingo bango, sorry but Northern Ireland doesnt have special status, it is an integral part of the U.K.

Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales -

The United Kingdom of Great Britain & Northern Ireland, formed after Irish independence, is usually referred to as simply United Kingdom

You cant hold a GB passport as it doesnt exist. A dual nationality (special) status does exist which allows you to have a passport from either UK or Ireland (or both)

A LITTLE HISTORY

The adjective "British"

The adjective "British" is, of course, used in relation to Great Britain but there is also a common tendency to use it when referring to issues relating to both Great Britain and the United Kingdom. This is inaccurate and from a legal point of view erroneous.
Sometimes, however, in legislation the term "British" is used to refer to the United Kingdom as a whole, especially in matters relating to the question of nationality. 3


The United Kingdom

The United Kingdom is made up of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The official name "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" came into use in 1922 after the constitution of the Irish Free State (1922-1937), the former name of the Republic of Ireland.
The whole of Ireland had been united to Great Britain by an Act of Parliament in 1800 and which took effect in January 1801. 4 However, this union had never been popular in Ireland and became the target of Irish Nationalist leaders ever since. The union of the whole of Ireland with Great Britain lasted until the constitution of the Irish Free State. The Treaty that sanctioned the separation laid down that the six counties in the north should remain united to Great Britain hence constituting Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom but not part of Great Britain.
Therefore, the United Kingdom of Great Britain, used to indicate the political union of England, Scotland and Wales, was expanded, in the 20th century, to include Northern Ireland: the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" as it now appears on passports.


When speaking of the United Kingdom and its constituent parts it is important to use the correct terminology. In 1969 the Royal Commission on the Constitution was set up with the aim of examining the relation between central legislature and government on one hand and the "several countries, nations and regions of the United Kingdom" on the other. The words "countries", "nations" and "regions" reveal a certain vagueness which was eventually resolved by the Report of the Commission. 5

The Isle of Man and the Bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey are not part of Great Britain, they are not part of the United Kingdom and neither are they part of the European Union. They are self-governing British Crown dependencies.

And this helps the OP how?

Explain this then?
