65 Series Registration Numbers

The new 65 series registration number plates was introduced in the UK just over a week ago.  All new vehicles registered between 1st September and 1st March 2016 will use the new registration plates. New vehicle sales are set to take off as the new 65 series number plates are introduced.

Why are we getting new 65 series number plates? Each year two sets of new registration plates are introduced into the UK via the DVLA at Swansea. The first new release each year is 1st March and the second release is 1st September. The plates are used to identify any vehicles built during that period, and helps drivers calculate the age of a car/vehicle.

What do the letters and numbers mean on the new 65 series registration plates? The first two letters on a registration plate indicate where the vehicle was registered, not where it was built. The first letter stands for the region the vehicle was registered and the second represents a local DVLA office. The next two letters are the same for every vehicle registered in that time period. The new registration plates will use 65, while registration plates from 1st March 2015 use 15. The final three letters are random and give the vehicle a unique identity.
