The format, dimensions and technical specifications of registration plates for display on motor vehicles are set down in the Vehicle Registration and Taxation Regulations 1992 which were made by the Revenue Commissioners. These regulations provide, inter alia, that a registration plate shall exhibit the index mark, for example, D, and placename of the relevant licensing authority, for example, Baile Átha Cliath. The regulations specify the placename to be used for each of the 29 licensing authorities, which is the Irish version of the county concerned. A registration plate that does not meet the specifications constitutes a reason for refusal of an NCT certificate. This position has been strongly endorsed by the Garda authorities.
