The new format was introduced because the old age identifier prefix letters ran out on the 31st August 2001 and the new format makes number plates easier to read and more memorable. Two letter regional identifier. The first two letters of the registration now show the region where the vehicle was first registered. This will help with the recall of registrations and the identification of vehicles. The first letter represents the region And, the second relates to a DVLA Local Office. Using the above example, "AB" shows that the vehicle was first registered in Anglia (A) at the DVLA's Peterborough office (B). Two figure age identifier The age identifier will change every six months in March and September. In the above example, "12" represents the 6 month period from April 2012 to August 2012. Please refer to the chart for a full list of age identifiers. Three random letters The three random letters will provide a random element to make each registration unique. Combinations that may be considered offensive as well as the Letters "I" and "Q" will be excluded from this element of the registration.         01 Reserved 51 Sept 1st 2001 02 Mar 1st 2002 52 Sept 1st 2002 03 Mar 1st 2003 53 Sept 1st 2003 04 Mar 1st 2004 54 Sept 1st 2004 05 Mar 1st 2005 55 Sept 1st 2005 06 Mar 1st 2006 56 Sept 1st 2006 07 Mar 1st 2007 57 Sept 1st 2007 08 Mar 1st 2008 58 Sept 1st 2008 09 Mar 1st 2009 59 Sept 1st 2009 10 Mar 1st 2010 60 Sept 1st 2010 11 Mar 1st 2011 61 Sept 1st 2011 12 Mar 1st 2012 62 Sept 1st 2012 13 Mar 1st 2013 63 Sept 1st 2013 14 Mar 1st 2014 64 Sept 1st 2014 15 Mar 1st 2015 65 Sept 1st 2015 16 Mar 1st 2016 66 Sept 1st 2016 17 Mar 1st 2017 67 Sept 1st 2017 18 Mar 1st 2018 68 Sept 1st 2018 19 Mar 1st 2019 69 Sept 1st 2019 20 Mar 1st 2020 70 Sept 1st 2020 21 Mar 1st 2021 71 Sept 1st 2021 22 Mar 1st 2022 72 Sept 1st 2022 23 Mar 1st 2023 73 Sept 1st 2023    Copyright © Trupart Ltd - E&OE - All rights reserved - Privacy Policy
