When the administrative counties of Northern Ireland were dissolved in 1972, responsibility for issuing registrations was transferred to the NI Home Office[43] and later to the NI Department for the Environment. Since 21 July 2014, vehicle registration in Northern Ireland has been the responsibility of the DVLA in Swansea. The format of Northern Irish licence plates before 1972 will remain unchanged. [44] The total height of a square licence plate to be affixed to a British specification vehicle is therefore 199 mm high. Our Short Plates range responds to your customers` desire to reduce the space on their private plates. We combined the size of 3 to 5 digits in a single plate. And made for a slightly larger size for 6-digit records. Nevertheless, each always respects the minimum distance required by the 145th regulation. “Is it legal to attach imported size license plates to my car with British specifications?” A limited number of “flag” registrations, which bear a similar format to previous civil registrations, have been issued to embassies and high commissions to be used instead of a “D” or “X” registration on their vehicles. For example: The U.S. Embassy can use the USA 1 registration; Embassy of Zimbabwe ZIM 1; The High Commission of Jamaica JAM 1 and the Embassy of South Korea ROK 1 – “Republic of Korea”. However, the North Korean embassy had to buy a makeup plate: PRK 1D.

Panels must not be removable or reflective. If your license plates were mounted after September 1, 2021, they must also have a single shade of black. Your trailer must have the same license plate as the vehicle you use to tow it. If you are pulling more than one trailer, the license plate must be attached to the trailer at the rear. On 1 August 2008, the UK Government introduced rules requiring the presentation of personal identification and vehicle registration documents when licence plates are manufactured by a retailer. [69] The organization that produces the mark is required to provide its name and postal code, usually in small print at the bottom middle, to help trace false license plates and their purchaser. [4] This requirement was introduced in 2001 when the new drawing style and two-digit year identifier came into effect and applies to all licence plates created after that date, regardless of the year of the vehicle. Imported size license plates and motorcycle license plates have the dimensions and spacing associated with the following list: Military license plates are still often silver/white on black used for civil license plates before 1973, and can be represented in one, two or three rows of characters. The following instructions show our most important license plate sizes. These manufacture one- or two-line license plates and meet layout and spacing requirements.

In 1982, the suffixes of the year had reached Y and so from 1983 the order was reversed again, so that the letter of the year – beginning with “A” – preceded the numbers and then the letters of the record. The range available at the time was A21 AAA at Y999 YYY, with numbers 1 to 20 retained for the DVLA registration sales system proposed by the government and implemented later. In the mid-1990s, there was some discussion about the introduction of a uniform system for Europe, which would also include the original vehicle code, but after much discussion, such a system was not adopted due to the lack of countries willing to participate. The legislation states that the license plates of vehicles with British specifications must comply with the following specification: Initially, the plates were black with white or silver signs. The reflective plates were introduced in 1969 and were white at the front and yellow at the back with black characters.
