The basics

What are dateless number plates?

Quick answer: Dateless number plates are registrations that carry no age identifier. Unlike modern plates, they give no clue as to when a vehicle was first registered, which means they can be assigned to a vehicle of any age. They were the earliest UK registrations, issued before the dated system arrived in 1963.

Because they show no year, dateless plates are the only format that can go on any vehicle regardless of its age. That makes them uniquely flexible, and it is a big part of why they are so sought after.

They also have a cleaner, more timeless look than dated registrations, with shorter combinations of letters and numbers that many owners find more elegant on a modern or classic car alike.

Most dateless plates use early formats made up of letters and numbers, such as one to three letters with a number, or a number followed by letters, and their reversed equivalents.

Because no new dateless plates are created today, supply is fixed and availability is limited. For the rarest, most collectable marks, see our cherished number plates.

Why choose one?

Why buy a dateless number plate?

Fits any vehicle

Hides a car's age

A dateless mark gives no clue to the year your vehicle was first registered.

Timeless style

Short, clean combinations that look elegant on classic and modern cars alike.

Limited supply

FAQs

Dateless number plates: common questions

Can dateless number plates go on any car?

Yes. Because dateless plates carry no age identifier, they can be assigned to any vehicle regardless of its age, provided the registration meets DVLA rules. They will not, however, make a car appear newer than it actually is.

Are dateless number plates legal?

Yes. All dateless registrations sold by RegHunters are fully legal and DVLA compliant. Every plate must follow the rules on format, characters, spacing and display, and we ensure all transfers are completed correctly.

How much do dateless number plates cost?

The cost depends on rarity, length and demand. Some dateless combinations are highly valuable, but there are also affordable options with simpler letter and number formats, so there is something to suit a wide range of budgets.

What is the difference between dateless and cherished plates?

The terms overlap. Dateless describes any registration with no age identifier, while cherished tends to be used for the rarest and most sought-after of these older marks. You can explore the premium end on our cherished number plates page.

How do I transfer a dateless plate?

We handle the full process for you, including ownership verification, the DVLA transfer or assignment, and retention if needed. You can assign the plate straight to your vehicle or hold it on a certificate for later.
