Identifiers from 2010 to 2019, plus 51 to 59 and 61 to 71.

The digit 1 opens every age identifier from 2010 to 2019 and closes the autumn identifiers 51, 61 and 71 — which covers a very large share of the vehicles still on the road. It is also the narrowest character in the range, so spacing either side of it needs a second look.

Where the 1 appears on UK plates

  • Identifiers 10 to 19 cover March 2010 to August 2019 registrations.
  • It also appears in autumn identifiers such as 51, 61 and 71.
  • The letter I is not used in modern registrations, so a narrow upright character is this digit.

Ordering and fitting the 1

  • Because the character is narrow, check the gaps either side before pressing down.
  • One of the highest-volume digits — stock it deeply.

Questions about the 1

Should I order 1 or the letter I?
For any registration issued since 2001, the digit 1. The letter I is not used in the current format.
Why does 1 look off-centre on my plate?
The character is narrower than the rest, so even spacing between character edges can read as uneven. Space by eye against the neighbouring characters.
