Motor Vehicle Index
Marks and Surviving Registers |
How to use this Listing
The listing can be used to identify whether the original local authority registration registers and/or card indexes still exist. Registers vary considerably in the information recorded with some giving the machine, engine and frame numbers, the date of registration and the name of the supplier and first owner down to the registration date and the vehicle excise category such as Bicycle, Private or Goods. The identity letters are the last two letters on a three letter plate.
Find the last two letters (or last letter if only two letters) of your license number to find which area it was first registered. If the records still survive then they are shown under the column Surviving Registers. If yours survives then look below for the address where you can apply for copy of the original transcript which can possibly be used to retain or reclaim the original registration number. Register There is usually a fee for this service by the registration authority or the archive where the record is kept.
If the entry has an * against the surviving register dates then look in the notes which are after the alphabetic listing. If there is a name in the Location column then look up the name in the address location column. If you do manage to obtain a copy from the register then print out the retention notes and follow them through. The link is at the bottom of this page. You might need to obtain a dating certificate from the Clubs' Machine Dating Officer (see address in the Star magazine.).

Notes to List
| AD | Registers for 1903-26; thereafter registration cards only. |
| AE | Registration cards only, recently deposited privately. Post-1940 cards are expected shortly from the same source. |
| AI | Early registers for Meath have not survived but the Motor Taxation Dept of the county council has about 80% of vehicle files, including that for AI, and many of the remaining 20%, relating to vehicles transferred to other local authorities, are gradually finding their way back to Meath. |
| AK | Registers for 1903-20; there after registration cards only. |
| AL | Nottinghamshire Archives Office has registers for AL covering the years 1903-20, of which the entries up to 31 Dec. 1903 were published in 'Nottinghamshire Register of Motor Cars and Motor Cycles, 1903', Thoroton Society of Nottinghamshire Record Series, XXI (1962), 65-79. From 1921 the office has loose registration forms for all the Notts. index marks (AL, NN, RR and VO) but some of these 'may be out of order ... are difficult to use and appear to have many inexplicable gaps where the records are missing. Certainly where we have been approached by owners in the past for information we have frequently failed to find the relevant records' (information kindly supplied by Notts. Archives Office). |
| AT | Registers for 1904-18 are at the Transport Museum, High St; Hull City Record Office, 79 Lowgate, have registration cards from 1924 onwards. |
| AW | Registration cards only. |
| AZ | The Vehicles (Excise) Act (Northern Ireland) 1972 removed vehicle registration from local authority control to the Government of Northern Ireland, the date of transfer being 1 October 1973. In principle, all local authority registration records should have passed to the Vehicle Licensing Central Office, County Hall, Castlerock Road, Coleraine BT51 3HS, to whom all enquiries concerning Northern Ireland registration marks should be directed. In practice, some local authority registers are in the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland in Belfast or at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum, Holywood, as noted in the list above. |
| BA | Later Salford registers are held by the Greater Manchester Police. |
| BD | The only registers at the Northamptonshire Record Office are those for 1903-21 for the index mark BD. For 1924-78 the office has (unlisted) registration cards for all three Northants index marks (BD, NV and RP). |
| BE | The Lincolnshire Archives Office has not yet listed records received from the four local registration authorities which existed in the county up to 1974 and relies on a brief note supplied by the registration offices with the documents. According to this, there are complete sets of registration cards for all the Lincoln, Lindsey, Kesteven and Holland index marks but far fewer registers. There appear to be none at all for VL and FW; those for FE are 'Scanty, early... plus a few post-war only'; for BE there are registers to BE 7196 and for FU from FU 4767 to N suffix; those for CT and TL 'Start mid CT's end 1974' (i.e. from 1923); and DO and JL 'DO 1904 to 9990 missing (i.e. 1920-32) otherwise complete to N suffix'. The information given in the list for all the Lincolnshire marks is therefore provisional only. |
| BF | Under the Motor Car Act, 1903, the Local Government Board allocated BF to Dorsetshire. These letters did not find favour with some motorists and representations were made by the Dorset Automobile Association. The county council applied for a change, which was permitted, and by an LGB Order of 27 Dec. 1904 the mark FX was assigned. The order did not require existing marks to be changed but provided that the owner could have the mark FX substituted for BF on giving notice to the council. The last BF registration allotted was BF 162 on 20 Dec. 1904. 42 of the car owners and 41 motorcycle owners did not change their registration letters but any remaining on the roads on 1 Jan. 1921 were re-registered with FX numbers, since BF was not allocated under the Roads Act, 1920. (Information kindly supplied by the Dorset Record Office.) |
| BJ | Registers for 1933-55 and 1961 onwards; also registration application forms 'from an early date'. |
| BP | The only registers at the West Sussex Record Office at Chichester are those for BP for the period 1903-20. For 1921-72, however, the office has a quantity of uncatalogued number issue records (which contain less information than the registers) covering all three West Sussex index marks (BP, PO and PX). |
| BU | Registration cards only. |
| BZ | See note under AZ above. |
| C | No registers or registration cards; an incomplete series of vehicle files only. |
| CA | Registers to 1920; thereafter registration cards only. |
| CC | Registers for 1904-21 and 1952-77; registration cards for 1921-74 (approximately 50% complete); and registration files for 1921-74 (less than 50% survival). |
| CH | Registers for 1903-21; thereafter memorandum books of new numbers only. |
| CJ | Registers for 1904-20; thereafter registration cards only. |
| CO | Registration cards only. |
| CP | Registration cards only for 1921-77 at Wakefield; registration files for 1921-31 at Halifax. |
| CR | Southampton City Records Office has a register for CR covering the period 1903-13 and other volumes (not a complete series) to 1919. For TR and OW the office has only the subsidiary application forms for registration (RF(I)), as it has for later CR numbers. None of the series is complete. |
| CT | See note under BE above. |
| CX | A register for 1927; otherwise registration cards only. |
| CZ | See note under AZ above. |
| DA | Wolverhampton Central Library in fact has a series of seven volumes covering the period 1925-50 for index marks DA, JW and UK, plus an eighth volume for 1955-6. Other volumes were 'returned to West Midlands Police', where they were apparently subsequently destroyed. |
| DD | Registers for 1921-26; otherwise registration cards only. |
| DF | Registers for 1926-30; otherwise registration cards only. |
| DG | Registers for 1929-34; otherwise registration cards only. |

| DZ | See note under AZ above. |
| EC | The Kendal office of the Cumbria Archive Service has only one Westmorland vehicle register as such, containing registration numbers EC I to EC 466 and covering the years 1904-09, but has in addition a series of 37 notebooks, deposited by the last manager of the Kendal Motor Taxation Office, registering names and addresses of those issued with EC and JM index marks for road fund licence between 1925 and 1974. |

| FE | See note under BE above. |
| FH | In addition to a register of motorcycles for 1910-13 and another for motor-cars for 1912-19, the Gloucestershire Record Office (at its Alvin St branch) has a random sample of registration files for 1957-75 from the City of Gloucester taxation office. |

| Ll | Westmeath County Library, Dublin Rd, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland, has a volume of driving licences covering the years 1904-12. There may be other material amongst the county council records at County Buildings, Mullingar, but these have yet to be sorted and listed (information kindly supplied by the County Librarian). |
| LT | The Greater London Record Office has only a single register from the LCC/GLC motor taxation department, covering index marks LT 4001 to LT 4400, issued during the dates shown in the list. The only item to survive for Middlesex (also at the GLRO) is a register covering the years 1916-19 and the areas of Edgware, Kingsbury, Little Stanmore, Great Stanmore, Finchley, Hendon, Wembley and Willesden. This appears to be a register of car owners, rather than a register of index numbers, and the index marks are highly varied. The rest of the London and Middlesex taxation records have apparently been completely destroyed. |
