Northern Irish Number Plates
Irish style number plates
Northern Irish number plates and registrations are a great way to hide the age of your vehicle in the most affordable way. They do not have a year 'identifier' which means that you can use them on any vehicle of any age. Since Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, you can legally use its number plates across the UK too.
Irish number plates are cheaper than Dateless registrations. Plus, their unique style lets you create custom plates with your name, initials, or any word you like. For instance, you could have registrations like INGRID, IVAN, IMOGENE, ISAAC, ZAC, ZANE, BIG, DAZ, and more.
Use the custom-built Irish search tool below to find your ideal Irish registrations easily.

What are Northern Irish number plates?
Northern Irish number plates consist of letters and digits ranging from 1 to 9999, similar to those in Great Britain. These plates do not indicate the year of a vehicle, making them 'ageless'. All private number plates that are from Northern Ireland, include either the letter I or Z. These are the codes for the region.
The Northern Irish format includes letters paired with 1, 2, 3, or 4 numbers. The letters always have an I or Z within it. The Letter combinations are in fact area identifiers.
