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.

Suffix Private Plates

Suffix style registration plates were introduced in 1963 and were in use till 1983. The registration plates comprise three letters, one to three numbers, and a final letter indicating the year of registration, starting with "A" for 1963, "B" for 1964, and so on. If you are interested in purchasing a suffix private plate, you can utilise our easy-to-use suffix plate builder that provides instant results at an unbeatable price. With our platform, you can customise your plate by selecting your preferred letters and numbers to create a unique registration that reflects your personality. Our suffix plates are high-quality and legal for use on UK roads, so you can be sure of getting a great value for your money.

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.

DVLA - Offices

Please note that as of 2013, DVLA Local Offices are now closed. This information is provided solely for historical purposes as a complimentary service to our clients.

DVLA is a registered trade mark of the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency. New Reg is not affiliated to the DVLA or DVLA Personalised Registrations. New Reg is a recognised reseller of DVLA registrations. New Reg is registered with the DVLA to supply physical number plates only i.e. the actual acrylic plates.

UK number plates feature regional nymber plate identifiers, which are two-letter codes that reveal where a vehicle was first registered. The first letter indicates the broad region, such as "L" for London or "Y" for Yorkshire, while the second letter specifies the local DVLA office within that region. These regional identifiers, introduced in 2001, provide a quick way to identify a vehicle’s origin and are followed by age identifiers and a unique set of three random letters to complete the registration.
