Rejected 75 Number Plates Due to Offensive Registrations: DVLA's Complete List of 464 Inappropriate Registrations Denied

Cops Censor Car Identifiers: The 464 Number Plate Combos Banned for September 2025 Revealed

Get ready Britain! The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) has disclosed the crass number plate combinations they've axed from the September 2025 registrations. And let's just say, there's nothing classy about parking with plates that read like a naughty schoolboy's punchlines.

Every six months, the DVLA takes a deep swig from the dictionary of forbidden letters and numbers, and as the wheels keep spinning, so does the list—with a new edition hitting the road this September.

The '75' series is rife with its own issues, with a few combinations looking suspiciously like innocent abbreviations, such as 'BA75 ARD' and 'AR75 RSE.' The devil's in the details, people! And let's not forget the pesky '7' that's prone to masquerading as a 'T,' resulting in 'EA75 DCK' getting the DVLA's big red "X" of disapproval.

So, without further ado, brace yourself for the best of the worst of this year's banned number plates. Here's a look at the 464 recipes for disaster you won't be seeing whizz past anytime soon.

But fear not, citizens, the DVLA takes its job seriously. In a statement, a spokesperson said, "We withhold any number combinations that we deem may cause offense, embarrassment, or poor taste. While some may be bummed out about missing out on clever combinations like 'EA75 POO' or 'EU75 OUT,' we're relieved that insensitive topics, like controversial themes, religion, and racism, have been barred."

How the Number Plate Game is Played

The DVLA carefully curates every combination to ensure a harmonious, unoffensive driving experience for everyone. A panel of experts gathers for bi-annual meetings to pore over potential plate combos, with the ultimate goal of keeping Britain's roads clean and free of controversial plates.

But don't think you can escape the watchful eyes of the authority by breaking the rules. Flouting the guidelines and donning a banned number plate comes with a hefty fine of £100, and your vehicle's plates can even be confiscated. Be smart, be safe, and leave the naughty word games at home.

In a bid to maintain the country's standards, the DVLA has announced that certain number plate combinations will be outlawed starting from 2025, such as 'EA75 POO' or 'EU75 OUT,' due to their offensive nature.
Controversial themes, religion, and racism are among the topics that have been barred from being used in number plates, ensuring a harmonious driving experience for everyone.
It's worth noting that flouting the guidelines and using a banned number plate could result in a £100 fine, and your vehicle's plates might even be confiscated.
Despite the warnings, some valuable number plates are reportedly hidden away on a secret fleet of Fiat 500s in Wolverhampton, adding a layer of mystery and intrigue to the world of number plates.
