New style of plates
From 1 January 2023 we changed the style of our plates. When you need to renew your plate, we will issue you with the new style plate. They are made from vinyl and stick on the rear of a vehicle. You will need to make sure the area you place the plate on is clean and dry. This change is to:
- keep the costs down to you and
- has less environmental impact.
You do not need any of the other holders or brackets from your previous plate. Please note, this plate must be stuck to the outside rear of your vehicle. The failure to display, the use of other brackets or fixtures may result to points being issued to your licence.
