Northern Irish Number Plates Explained

Understand Northern Ireland registration formats and how they differ from Great Britain plates.

How Northern Irish registrations work

Northern Irish registrations use distinctive letter and number sequences. Unlike current Great Britain plates, their format does not use the same two-digit age identifier.

Can Northern Irish registrations be transferred?

Transfers are subject to DVLA rules and the registration's eligibility. Check official requirements before purchasing or transferring a mark.
