Anyone spotted a YZ registration yet? Just wondering what the new vehicle registration will look like?

Possibly AAA 001 etc?

There are still AAA *** vehicles registered in the South so can't use that.

AA 0001 perhaps?

Seen some with 'ZT' on Standard White plates. All recent imports

001 AA perhaps...

AA 001A ?

How North and South ireland register their cars
North RNZ 1234 LONDONDERRY
SOUTH 249 D 12345 year and month D Dublin
Might be an idea to include the North names L Lefkosa GA GI LE GU All the names roc dont recognise

Latest reg I have seen this morning was YY*** - not far to go now for sure and as far as I know the Govt still have not made up their mind on the new ones. Could make it easy and issue a new number plate, per region, every year complete with the road tax stamp on it? Total chaos would ensue but hey, why not - lol. Think of the money they would make - lol.

Not quite:
First two numbers are indeed the year

Third number:
1 = registered between January and June of the year
2 = registered between July and December of the year

Letters between numbers are the town/county in which the vehicle is registered

Similar to Germany; B 123 A, Berlin. Simples.

ZT is Ziyaret which means visitor.

Always thought ZT was tax not paid but deferred, an option instead of staying on your original plate until importing.
Red plated with white numbers and green with black numbers, anyone know?
ZZ was students in the 80's and 90's from we assumed

Have you noticed there are more and more "named" plates, the very first I saw were the Merit and Colony Hotels, yonks ago but now personal names are becoming more common. Together with something like YM 007, yesterday.

Parked next to a YY039 today!! Getting there but seems to have slowed down a lot in the past few weeks.

ZT is also being used on LHD cars that can never be taxed and imported and therefore remain 'visitor' status.

Interesting, thank you groucho and kanonier

YZ yesterday .

YZ861 Today @ 14:30. Still no news on the new system.

I might go and buy a new car Just to satisfy my curiosity!

Dealer I talked to today thinks it will be ZA*** - seems a bit silly, what would happen when we get to ZZ***? They must have run out by now so keeping my eyes open.

My money's on 3 letters and 4 numbers.

July this was in Cyprus mail

Phew!! Now we know, I'll be able to have a decent nights sleep!

Ahhhhh, but that was back in July. So you might have to take a pill.

From 16th September…… Referring to the issue of new license plates to replace the two-letter and three-digit license plates, which are nearing the end, Arıklı explained that there are two alternatives, “AA 001A” or “001 AA”, and said that they will present both alternatives to the Council of Ministers and decide on which ones will be used.

Numbers first and then the letters maybe....

As there is no way I'm going to be able to afford another car, it is of no concern of mine whatsoever!!!

ZA is here

Yup! Seen a few yesterday! I can't wait to see the hire car registration of ZZZ777 - lol.

ZA I'm led to believe.
