1x3 Number Plates

1x3 Number Plates are four-character dateless registrations – a single digit paired with three letters, or a single letter paired with three digits, in either order. They're one of the most accessible entry points into the dateless market, with a wider range of combinations than the shorter formats above them. The three-letter side of the format also opens up possibilities for initials, short names or nicknames, making them a practical choice for buyers who want something personal.

Prices across 1x3 dateless plates start from the low-to-mid five figures, making them one of the more buyer-friendly formats in the cherished plate range while still offering genuine variety and character. Whether you're after a number that means something to you up front, or a letter that anchors three digits behind it, there's a wide selection available.

Browse the full dateless plates range if you want to compare across formats, or take a look at 3x1 Number Plates if you want three characters leading the plate.
