Kia ora Mike,

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Prior to the changes to our governing legislation in 2011 the plate series
was detailed in the old [1]95 notice (it detailed the allowable character
series) now there’s no such restrictions. The only ‘restrictions’ are
under [2](2)(a)(b) and 33(1) in the Land Transport (Motor Vehicle
Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2011.   

 

A move to a 7 alpha/numerical plate would require changes to the Land
Transport (motor vehicle registration and licensing) Regulations 2011 see
– [3]r33 and [4]r34 where it’s currently limited to 6 & 5.

 

As there is currently still an extensive amount of plate combinations
available, a review has not yet started to determine our next registration
plate format/series. Closer to the time of the current series concluding
the requirements will be reviewed further.

 

Ngā mihi
