What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

BA12 RNS is a current-style registration issued in March 2012. Current style plates use a two-letter area code, a two-digit year code (12), and a three-letter random sequence. The 12 area code identifies it as originating from the Birmingham DVLA office, covering West Midlands. Under DVLA rules, this plate can be assigned to any vehicle first registered in March 2012 or earlier — it cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.
