Number Plate Styles
There are many types of car number plates to choose from, many of which include a location and year identifier for when and where the mark was first registered. Some registration plates are dateless which means they cannot be applied to a vehicle regardless of its age.
Current/ New Style
Current registration plates, also referred to “new style registrations”, were introduced in September 2001. These number plates identify the year of issuance with a number. For example, 01 = Mar 2001, the first month of issuance.
Prefix Style
Prefix number plates were launched in 1983, and contain a letter at the beginning of the registration to indicate the year in which the vehicle was registered. For example, A = August 1983, the first month of issuance.
Suffix Style
Suffix number plates were introduced in 1963, and contain three letters and three numbers. The last letter indicates the year in which the vehicle was registered, for example, A = August 1963.
Dateless
Dateless number plates can be used on vehicles regardless of age. Often a prized collectors item owing to its rarity, a dateless reg plate contains a combination of 1, 2 or 3 numbers/letters. For example, A1, 123 A, or 123 ABC.
