The new UK style registration numbers are in this format -
XX NN XXX
Where XX is a 2 letter local memory tag (area code), NN is a year identifier, and XXX is any 3 letter combination.
All letters apart from I and Q will be used
The 2 letter area code identifies at which DVLA office, the vehicle was registered. The following table details the areas -
