Number plates in Northern Ireland are issued by the DVA; the Driver and Vehicle Agency Northern Ireland. This is the Irish equivalent of the DVLA in the UK. The format of Irish plates is a little different to that of UK number plates. Irish plates start with three letters, followed by one to four numbers. The second two of the three letters differs depending on the particular licensing area. For example Belfast plates end in AZ, so you can find great plates for a Barry (BAZ), a Gary (GAZ) or a Caroline (CAZ or KAZ). Coleraine plates end in NZ and have recently issued the LNZ plate. Perfect if your name is Lyndsey! There are eight licensing areas in total, each with their own unique two letter code.
