The new format comprises seven characters and include local and age identifiers, as shown below. The "local memory tag" is linked to the DVLA local office where the vehicle was first registered and is intended to help witnesses recall details of the number plate.
The age identifier changes every six months in March and September. In the example above BD signifies Birmingham, 51 represents September 2001 and SMR is the random element. Lists of local memory tags and age identifiers are shown overleaf. Please note, DVLA local office identifiers may on occasion be subject to change.

A new number plate format was introduced on 1 September 2001. At the same time new regulations took effect governing design, manufacture and display of number plates. The regulations introduce a standard typeface, making it easier for number plates to be read. The change applies to the plates of vehicles registered from 1 September 2001 and to all replacement plates issued from that date. The regulations end the use of italic, multiple stroke and other difficult to read lettering on number plates. N.B: I and Q are not used in the new format. Q appears on some old format number plates, these "Q marks" will continue to be issued. See booklet INF46 "Registration numbers and you" for information. Z is only used in the random element of the new format. related items [tags: vehicle registration motoring]
