Annex A

GUIDELINES ON DEALING WITH NOTIFICATIONS OF MISREPRESENTED REGISTRATION NUMBERS

(Amended April 2008)

Initial notification - send Letter A (copy attached)

There is no longer a requirement to send a `pre warning' letter

Second notification - send Letter B (copy attached)

Once sent the case is to be given a B/F date of 21days. If no photographic evidence is received by this date the case should be passed to policy for consideration of revocation.

Third notification

Cases where photographic evidence of a change of plate has previously been sent and a further notification is received are to be passed to policy for consideration of revocation.

These guidelines should be followed in all cases i.e. cherished/non-cherished plates/ANPR failures/ numbers considered offensive. The only exception is a number plate that read as offensive when being correctly displayed.

Cases already on the VPU database should be treated as follows:

Pre sent already - continue with Letter A then Letter B

Full sent already - continue with Letter B
