About Dateless Number Plates
Dateless number plates are private registrations that do not have a date or year identifier. Normally, certain numbers of a registration plate indicate when the plate was registered – but this isn’t the case with a dateless private plate.
Dateless number plates were initially introduced in 1903, although these were not called dateless at the time as number plates simply did not have date identifiers until much later in 1963.
Benefits of Dateless Plates
Dateless registration plates have several advantages compared to regular format alternatives. Here’s some of the key benefits.
- You can get a private registration that is very close to the name or word you are looking for. As they don’t follow strict newer formats, you can often find the name or word you would like with fewer additional characters or character substitutions.
- Normally, you are not allowed to use a number plate that makes a vehicle appear newer than it is. A dateless number plate, however, can be used on any vehicle. This means if you have a vehicle, you have put time and effort into keeping it looking clean and new, you can use a dateless number plate to hide its age.
