Number Plate FAQs

How was this new format chosen?

A consultation exercise in 1997 invited the public and interested organisations to give their views. The system that has been developed meets the needs of the vast majority of respondents in providing local memory tags and age identifiers. These will be easy to remember and require no significant changes in materials or overall number plate size.

E&OE. While we make every effort to ensure that the information contained in our FAQ is correct, and we believe the information to be accurate, we will not be held to conditions or terms that, through accidental error or omission, are incorrect. We will however correct such errors as soon as we become aware of them.
