Why Choose ART Number Plates?
Arthur's rise to the top of the British name charts has been one of the naming stories of the decade, and ART is its sharpest shortening. The block also stands alone as a word, which brings artists, designers, galleries and creative businesses into the audience alongside every Arthur, Art and Artie on the road.
The classic format is a current style registration ending in the ART block, in the shape of AB12 ART. Whole plate reads reach for the full name: combinations shaped like AR72 HUR spell Arthur across the registration and make a magnificent statement piece. Prefix era registrations carrying ART give the same read with vintage character at accessible money.
ART plates are bought for newborn Arthurs and held on certificate, for milestone birthdays, and by creative businesses who understand that a van reading ART is advertising that never expires. With the name at its peak and the word timeless, the block enjoys demand from two directions at once, and clean examples rarely wait long for a home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which names do ART plates cover?
Arthur, Art and Artie read directly from the block, and whole plate combinations in the style of AR72 HUR spell Arthur in full. Add the word itself and the audience stretches to every creative in the country.
How much do ART number plates cost?
Block reads ending in ART lead demand, full Arthur reads sit at the premium end, and prefix era options offer value. Every price shown includes the DVLA fee and our full transfer service.
Is an ART plate good for a creative business?
Ideal. On a gallery van, a signwriter's truck or a designer's car, the registration is the brand in three letters, it moves vehicle to vehicle indefinitely, and it holds value in a way painted branding never can.
Can I buy an ART plate for a baby Arthur?
Yes, and with Arthur topping the charts many families are doing exactly that. The registration waits on a DVLA retention certificate, renewable every ten years, until he passes his test.
The number one name meets a timeless word
Blocks rarely get two lives, but ART has them: the name at the summit of the charts and the word every creative claims. That dual audience is the engine of its demand. When an Arthur outgrows the plate there is always an artist waiting, and vice versa, which keeps the block trading briskly whatever the naming fashions do next.
Choosing between the block and the full name
Registrations ending in ART are the everyday route, plentiful enough to find a meaningful year identifier. Full Arthur reads across the plate are the collector pieces, scarce and priced to match. For most buyers the block read is the sweet spot: instantly understood, sensibly priced, and just as at home outside a gallery as outside a school gate.
