Dateless Plates
Dateless registrations are the most collectable format in the UK — originally issued before 1963 with no year identifier, they never give the age of your vehicle away and almost always hold or appreciate in value.

FAQ
Common questions
What are dateless number plates?
Dateless plates are UK private registrations issued before 1963, with no year identifier. They can be legally displayed on any vehicle regardless of its age, making them the most flexible and typically most valuable format.
Can a dateless plate go on any car?
Yes. Because dateless plates carry no year indicator, DVLA permits them to be displayed on any UK-registered vehicle. This is one of the main reasons they're considered investment-grade.
Are dateless plates a good investment?
Short dateless plates (two or three characters) have historically appreciated in value. Their fixed supply and growing demand from collectors and prestige vehicle owners make them one of the strongest performing categories in the plate market.
How do I transfer a dateless plate to my car?
DVLA handles the transfer via a V750 Certificate of Entitlement or V778 Retention Document. We manage the full process for every plate we sell — typically completed within 10–14 working days.
