Overview

• The DVLA has prohibited 436 specific character combinations for the upcoming '75' registration series, set to launch on September 1, 2025.
• This latest list, disclosed through a Freedom of Information request, raises the total number of banned plates for 2025 to 646.
• Banned plates include references to Nazi atrocities, such as AU75 WTS and AU75 WTZ, as well as sequences perceived to promote violence or drug use, like LE75 KLL ('Let's kill') and LE75 LSD ('Let's LSD').
• Political references, including Brexit-related combinations like EU75 OUT and EU75 YES, have also been blocked to avoid controversy.
• Motorists using banned plates risk fines of up to £1,000 and a failed MOT, highlighting the DVLA's commitment to maintaining public standards on UK roads.
