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.

Age Identifiers

Private plates in the UK have gone through several formats to accommodate the growing number of vehicles on the road. The earliest format was dateless plates, which did not feature an age identifier. Later on, the DVLA introduced suffix, then prefix and now current style plates consisting of two letters, a two-figure age identifier and finally three letters. It is important to check the age of the receiving vehicle as registration marks carry an 'age identifier'. The DVLA does not permit newer registration marks to be transferred to older vehicles, so it is essential to choose a plate that suits the vehicle's age.
