    No, it’s when the car is registered. If the plate was stolen and you requested a new one, you’d get the same registration number. The plate identifies the car, basically.

    If you bought a car in 2000 and never registered it before 2025, then you’d get a 251 plate. But you wouldn’t be able to drive it on public roads for those 25 years.
