DVLA Suspends Rollout of New Number Plates Planned for January 2026

The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority has suspended the rollout of new licence plates, originally scheduled for January 2, 2026.

The delay is due to the failure to secure the necessary amendments to the Road Traffic Regulation, 2012 (L.I. 2180).

In a statement on Facebook, the authority explained that specific provisions in L.I. 2180 had not been passed before Parliament went on recess on December 19.
