The Types of Number Plates We Offer
At Plus Plates, we specialise in DVLA-approved number plates and personalised registrations to match every style and preference. From sleek modern formats to iconic classic designs, here’s a breakdown of the plate types we provide:
Current Style Plates (2001 - present)
The most popular format in use today. These plates feature two letters, a two-digit age identifier, and three random letters (e.g. AB23 XYZ).
Prefix Plates (1983 - 2011)
Prefix plates begin with a letter that indicates the year, followed by a number and three letters (e.g. A123 XYZ).
Suffix Plates (1963 - 1983)
The reverse of prefix plates — these end with the year identifier (e.g. XYZ 123A).
Dateless Plates (1903 - 1962)
A timeless choice. These classic plates contain only letters and numbers, without showing the vehicle's age (e.g. AB23 XYZ).
Northern Ireland Plates
Known for their unique style, Northern Ireland plates don’t reveal the vehicle’s age (e.g. ABZ 2345) — a great option for discretion and value.
Questions? We Have Answers!
I'm new to this – how does it all work?
Simply find your perfect registration and proceed to checkout. You can choose whether to receive number plates, assign the reg now or later, and we’ll handle the rest. We’ll update you by email at each stage.
Do I need to assign my new registration right away?
No – your registration will be issued on a certificate (V750) and can be held for up to 10 years before being assigned to a vehicle.
Can I assign the registration to a vehicle immediately?
Yes – if you choose our Fast Track Transfer service and provide your V5C logbook details, we can assign it directly to your vehicle after purchase. Otherwise, the reg will be issued on a certificate for later use.
What documents do you need to assign a reg?
What happens to my current registration?
If it's the vehicle’s original registration, DVLA will usually return it when you remove your private plate. If it’s also a private plate, you must put it on retention before assigning the new one. We can help with this for a small admin fee.
