DVLA to legalise temporary ‘Just Married’, ‘Called to the Bar’ vehicle plates
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) is set to introduce a new temporary vehicle plate message system that will allow motorists to legally display celebratory messages such as "Just Married" and "Called to the Bar" on their vehicles.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) plans to introduce a new temporary vehicle plate messaging system that will permit motorists to legally display celebratory messages like "Just Married" and "Called to the Bar" on their vehicles. During a recent interview on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show, the DVLA's Chief Executive Officer, Julius Neequaye Kotey, announced the initiative.
Kotey emphasized that the move aims to address the unregulated practice of motorists attaching celebratory messages to their number plates, which are currently deemed illegal. Instead of prohibiting the practice, the DVLA will offer an official temporary alternative for motorists to apply for and utilize for a limited duration. Kotey clarified that the temporary plates can be obtained and used for a week, making them legal for personal milestones and celebrations.
As an illustration, he mentioned that a newly qualified lawyer could display a message such as "Called to the Bar" or "Fresh Lawyer" on their vehicle following their admission to the Bar.
