Prefix-style registration plates place an age-identifying letter at the beginning of the registration. The familiar pattern is one letter, up to three numbers and three letters, such as A21 HUR. Prefix registrations offer plenty of combinations for initials, short words and memorable numbers.
What do the letters on a prefix plate mean?
The first letter identifies the period in which the registration format was issued. This format was used for new registrations in the UK from 1983 to 2001. A registration must not be assigned to a vehicle if it would make the vehicle appear newer than it is.
Choosing a prefix registration
Look at the letters and numbers together: a three-letter ending might suit your initials, while the digits may have personal significance. Compare listed prices and confirm DVLA eligibility and full costs before buying.
