Number Plate FAQs

My vehicle was manufactured before 1 January 1973 but not registered until later.  What type of number plate should I display?

Currently you should display a black on yellow rear and black on white front number plates that comply with the Current British Standard.  From 1 September you may choose to display an old style number plate like those appropriate to vehicles registered before 1 January 1973.
