New Registrations

When someone decides to buy personalised registration plates they have a choice of four styles. 

Dateless Registrations; they are just that.... dateless! They are made up of a group of numbers and a group of letters and it is not visible when the number was issued, e.g. ABC 123 or 123 ABC, AB 12 or 12 AB and 1 A or A 1.

Suffix style plates which are made up of a group of letters then a group of numbers with a letter at the end. The end letter identifies the year the number was issued, e.g. ABC 123A.

Prefix numbers are a reversal of the suffix system; a letter at the beginning of a group of numbers followed by a group of letters, e.g. A123 ABC.

New Registrations are the current style issued.  Two letters which identify the place the number was issued, a space then two numbers which indicate when the number was issued, another space then a group of three random letter, e.g. AB09 ABC or DE04 DEF. The scheme was introduced in 2001 but as there hadn’t been a new system for quite some time there was quite a bit of excitement about the issue of the new registrations and so the phrase New Registrations stuck. There is however room for confusion between this term and the UK’s leading brand in new registrations dealers. Their name is New Reg!
