What Are Dateless Number Plates?
Dateless number plates are private registrations that do not contain an age identifier. Unlike modern registrations, dateless registration plates don’t indicate when a vehicle was first registered, allowing them to be assigned to vehicles of any age.
Most dateless plates use early DVLA formats made up of letters and numbers, such as:
- One number with up to three letters
- Two numbers followed by letters
- Short letter–number combinations issued before age identifiers existed
Because no new dateless private plates are created today, availability is limited, which is why even simpler or cheaper dateless plates can still be highly sought after.
Are Dateless Number Plates a Good Investment?
Many dateless plates hold their value well due to limited supply and ongoing demand. Plates with short formats, clear initials, or broad appeal are often considered more desirable, but even cheap dateless number plates can increase in value over time.
Because no new dateless registration plates are issued, scarcity plays a key role in long-term value. While not every plate is purchased as an investment, dateless private plates remain one of the most stable and popular types of private registration in the UK.

FAQ's About Dateless Plates
Can dateless number plates be used on any car?
Yes, dateless number plates can be assigned to any vehicle, regardless of age, provided the registration meets dvla registrations rules. Because dateless plates do not include an age identifier, they won’t make a car appear newer than it is, making them a flexible option for many drivers.
Are dateless number plates legal and DVLA-approved?
All dateless registration plates sold through RegHunters are fully legal and compliant with requirements set out by the Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). Every private number plate must follow strict rules around format, characters, spacing, and display, and our team ensures all dvla registrations are transferred and assigned correctly.
How much do dateless number plates cost?
The cost of dateless plates depends on factors such as rarity, length, and demand. While some combinations can be highly valuable, there are also cheap dateless number plates available, particularly among older dvla registrations with simpler letter and number formats. RegHunters offers options to suit a wide range of budgets.
