Plate Details

ROY 688 is a dateless registration — one of the most desirable formats in the UK personalised plate market. Dateless plates carry no year identifier, which means they can be transferred to a vehicle of any age with no restriction. This flexibility, combined with their short format and limited availability, makes dateless plates among the most sought-after on the market.

Registration History

ROY 688 was first made available in 1956. The original issuing office for this combination is Croydon C.B.C.. Local council and county borough offices issued plates within their geographic area — the issuing office identifies the regional origin of the registration.
