Prefix Private Registration Plates

Prefix number plates are a popular and eye-catching style of vehicle registration. They were issued between 1983 and 2001, and the prefix indicates the year of registration. The first letter on the plate signifies the year in which the vehicle was registered, followed by a unique combination of numbers and letters. Prefix plates have become highly sought after due to their distinct design and age-related significance. Additionally, they offer personalisation options for drivers looking to add a unique touch to their vehicles.

Current Style Car Registrations

The existing style of number plates is made up of seven characters. It starts with two letters, followed by a two-digit number and ends with three more letters. These registration plates can still be used to spell out words, for example: DE51 RED. This type of new number plate allows for a much larger number of combinations compared to the previous versions that were available before 2001. However, the letters "I" and "Q" are not allowed, but the letter "Z" can appear as part of the last three characters.

DVLA & Number Plates — Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are DVLA local offices still open?
    No — as of 2013, DVLA local offices throughout the UK were closed. All DVLA services are now handled centrally from DVLA Swansea (Heol Pentre Felen, Swansea, SA6 7HG) or online via the GOV.UK website. The addresses listed on this page are preserved for legacy reference only.
  • What is the DVLA?
    The DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) is the UK government body responsible for maintaining the national database of drivers and vehicles in Great Britain. It is based in Swansea, Wales, and is responsible for issuing vehicle registrations, driving licences and setting the regulations for number plates.
  • Where is the DVLA headquarters?
    The DVLA headquarters is located at Heol Pentre Felen, Swansea, SA6 7HG, Wales. Previously known as the DVLC (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre), it is the central point of contact for all UK vehicle registration and licensing matters since local offices closed in 2013.
  • How do I contact the DVLA about a personalised number plate?
    For personalised number plate queries, New Reg handles all DVLA communication on your behalf when you buy or sell through us. For direct DVLA enquiries, visit the GOV.UK website or call the DVLA contact centre. New Reg is a DVLA recognised reseller and manages all transfer paperwork for customers.
  • Can I transfer a number plate without visiting a DVLA office?
    Yes — since DVLA local offices closed in 2013, all number plate transfers are handled by post, online via GOV.UK, or through a DVLA recognised dealer like New Reg. When you buy a personalised plate through New Reg, our team manages the entire DVLA transfer process on your behalf.
  • Is New Reg affiliated with the DVLA?
    New Reg is a DVLA recognised reseller, not a DVLA government body. We are an independent company that has been selling personalised number plates since 1990. We handle all DVLA transfer paperwork on behalf of customers, but we are a private business — not part of the DVLA itself.
