What's included with your purchase

Plate Details

BU73 RNS is a current-style registration issued in September 2023. Current style plates use a two-letter area code, a two-digit year code (73), and a three-letter random sequence. The 73 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 September 2023 or earlier — it cannot make a vehicle appear newer than it actually is.
