Safe to share my reg plate?

Safe to share my reg plate?

How safe is it to share the registration plate number with a potential buyer? Is there anything dodgy they can do with that info?

Our answer:

Hi Dave,

That shouldn't be a problem. It's likely the buyer just wants to carry out a Cartell.ie history check or similar. There's nothing dodgy they can do with just the registration plate, as it's something anyone can get from any car that's in public anyway.
