The ‘good’ and ‘bad’ 74 number plates

Posted on 24/07/23 |

The new '74' registration plates launching on September 1st, means a new list of banned plates, as dictated by the DVLA.

The DVLA releases a banned plate list twice a year (in March and September).  This list includes letter and number combinations that reference crime, racism, politics, certain religious aspects, and any terms deemed too rude, insulting, or inappropriate.

What's banned for the '74' registration plates?

The issue with '74' plates is that the '4' can resemble the letter 'A', leading to many banned combinations.  References to the war in Ukraine are banned, including plates like NO74 RUS and EU74 WAR.  

Plates that could comment on low-emission zones, such as NO74 LEZ, are banned as well.  Additionally, childish combinations like '74 RTS' and 'AB74 STD' are off-limits.

The Good '74' plates

The DVLA also considers desirable combinations for auction.  For the '74' plates, this includes combinations like 'EL74 LEN' (ELLEN), 'BA74 LDY' (BALDY), 'PA74 RTY' (PARTY), and 'DA74 DDY' (DADDY).  These plates will be available at the DVLA’s online auction, starting at £250.
