Now we’re always up for saving ourselves some time, so we thought we’d create a post that answers one question we’re always asked. So here it goes - age restrictions explained…

Dateless registrations and Reverse Dateless registrations (as the name suggests) do not contain an age identifier. These type of private number plates can be assigned to any vehicle regardless of the age of that vehicle. It is for this reason that Dateless and Reverse Dateless plates are commonly used as “Cover” plates to effectively hide the age of a vehicle. Irish registrations also fall into this category.

Suffix Plates, Prefix Plates and Current Style Plates all contain an age identifier. In the case of Suffix and Prefix registrations it’s a single letter, where as Current Style Plates feature a two-digit year identifier. You cannot use these plates to make a vehicle appear younger than it is. As an example, you cannot assign a “52″ current style plate to a “51″ registered vehicle, or assign a Current Style plate to a Prefix registered vehicle.
