The standard formatting is “AB51 ABC” according to the 2001 introduction. While this isn't true for every car as it depends on the year it was registered. Now, thanks to the introduction of area codes on number plates, the process of finding where a car was registered is now much easier. Understanding Number Plate Area CodesĪrea codes on number plates are primarily used by the authorities to make tracking vehicles easier.īefore the current formatting, introduced in 2001, if you wanted more information on a specific plate you would have to contact the DVLA office directly. In this guide, we’ll explain how you can use a number plate to find out where a car was registered in the UK according to the DVLA using something called “number plate area codes”. You can also find out where the car was registered if you know what to look for. While most people know that a car’s number plate will tell you when the car was registered, this isn't the only thing it tells you.
