To want to change my number plate?

It's awful! It is something along the lines of 'anal 69'. It is NOT a personalised number plate. Is there a way to request a new one or would it have to be personalised?

I hate it. I know threads about another thread aren't aloud really but that's what got me starting this one - it looks awful and like it has been personalised to be rude.

I don’t get L6 UNT at all and I’m not stupid or naive.

maybe the 6 looks like a C ?

I have seen something like PU5Y VAN, it was a minivan with blacked out windows.

I imagine the man who owns it lives with his mum. Envy (not envy, obv)

L6 UNT clearly reads CUNT. Its not that difficult to work out Confused

It’s not something like —69VAG is it?

Former DVLA employee here, so I hope what I tell you isn't out of date, but you should be able to change the number plate without having to pay for it, if you just want a bog standard age related plate (ie the numbers representing the year will be the same as your current reg). It would be changed on a non-transferable basis, meaning that you couldn't move it to another vehicle, but it wouldn't stop you putting a private plate on it later if you wanted to.

I would speak to DVLA or write to them saying you find the reg no offensive, I have changed many plates for similar reasons including a bloke whose number started DU11 and he thought it looked like DULL and was a dig from the car dealership, and one woman who wanted a plate without the number 43 in it because a psychic had told her to avoid that number! IIRC this wasn't a service that we advertised, and was at the discretion of the office, but I don't think we ever refused. It's possible that the rules have changed but for something like this fairly unlikely I think.
