Check vehicle history – Get information on used cars with our instant car check. Check cars, motorbikes and vans with current style Yorkshire, Sheffield number plates beginning YS71U.
The ‘YS’ memory tag at the start of current style UK number plates refers to the Yorkshire, Sheffield DVLA local office and is an indication as to where a vehicle was first registered, or the area where a number plate was issued.
Although the memory tag is still used by the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) as an identifier, all DVLA local offices (with the exception of DVLA Swansea) in England, Wales and Scotland were officially closed and moved online in July 2012.
