A new format for registration marks was introduced in September 2001.  

The new registration marks are made up of seven characters.   There are three parts to the registration mark, each with a separate meaning.

• The first two letters show where the vehicle was registered, the local memory tag.

• The two numbers indicate the age of the vehicle, the age identifier.

• The last three letters give a unique identity to a vehicle, the random letters.

You can click here to see a list of the letters used to describer the local area in which a vehicle was first registered.

A detailed explanation of the permitted style and size of number plates is available on the DVLA website.

We will be pleased to make up plates to whatever size, style and specification you require, it is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the vehicle is compliant with the current legislation.
