What is the new system for imported cars' registration numbers?
Hello, first of all congrats on a great Irish car website. It seems that the system of registering a imported used car has changed since late last year. It is now easy to spot imported Dublin registered cars because the plate starts at 120,000 upwards. I cannot find any information on the Revenue website but I remember reading a newspaper article in early 2012 about it. What are the starting numbers for other counties especially Wicklow?

Is having a Dublin reg an advantage?
I'm getting a new car shortly. Does having a D (Dublin) registration over other county regs make any difference?

Can I change the county registration?
Hi, I heard from a mate recently that its now possible to change the county of the car reg eg Dublin to cork. Is this correct.

Can I have my car registered in another county?
I live in Wicklow but I would like my new car to have Kildare reg plates as this is my native county. Is this possible?

How are registrations allocated to dealers?
Hello Paddy, How are registrations allocated to dealers especially in early January?
Are they issued individually or in blocks?

Can I choose to have my county registration plate?
Hi there. Here's a different one.
I'm waiting to take delivery on a new van. I'm buying it in Dublin but live in another part of the country. I assume the dealer has to obtain the vehicle's registration number so my question is this. Can it be registered at my local office so that I have my county's index plate and not a 'D'. Nothing against Dublin, just that I am a 'local' business and would like the local number.
Thanks.
Tom Kelly.
