Can I have my car registered in another county?

I live in Wicklow but I would like my new car to have Kildare reg plates as this is my native county. Is this possible?

How are registrations allocated to dealers?

Hello Paddy, How are registrations allocated to dealers especially in early January?

Are they issued individually or in blocks?

Can I choose to have my county registration plate?

Hi there. Here's a different one.

I'm waiting to take delivery on a new van. I'm buying it in Dublin but live in another part of the country. I assume the dealer has to obtain the vehicle's registration number so my question is this. Can it be registered at my local office so that I have my county's index plate and not a 'D'. Nothing against Dublin, just that I am a 'local' business and would like the local number.

Thanks.

Tom Kelly.
