Suffix Registration Years
A suffix car registration format was first issued in 1960 as an extension to the dateless series of registrations. The addition of a year identifier at the end of the string of letters and numbers saw the first issue of registration plates that were of a dated format. The format is very popular and there are many name plates that utilise the combination of letters and numbers available.
The suffix formats continued until 1982 and these formats are available today for assignment to vehicles that post date their year of issue. The vast majority of vehicles today meet the criteria for the assignment of a suffix registration.
Any vehicle first registered after the 31st July 1983 can have any suffix regitration number assigned to it.

Prefix Registration Years
Prefix car registration formats were first issued in 1983 as an extension to the suffix series of registration plates. The year identifier was reversed from the suffix registration format and placed at the beginning of the string of letters and numbers. The format bacame very popular in the late 1990's as a personalised registration format and there are many name plates that utilise the combination of letters and numbers available that are distinctive.
Prefix registration numbers continued until 2001 and prefix formats are available today for assignment to vehicles that post date their year of issue. The majority of vehicles today meet the criteria for the assignment of a prefix registration.
Any vehicle first registered after the 31st August 2001 can have any prefix regitration number assigned to it.

Current Style Registration Years
Current or New Style registration formats were first issued in 2001 as an extension to the prefix series of registration plates. The year identifier became numbers rather than letters with the year identifying numbers placed after the first two letters in the string. The format has become increasingly popular as prefix registrations reduce in availability.
Current registration numbers are issued to vehicles at first registration from August 2001 onwards with personalised registration formats available through brokers.
Vehicles first registered after the 'from date' listed below can have a new style/current regitration number from earlier years assigned to it.
