	The area of registration is determined by the first 2 letters of a number plate. The first letter determines the area A - Anglia B - Birmingham C - Cymru (Wales) D - Deeside E - Essex F - Forest & Fens G - Garden of England H - Hampshire and Dorset K - Kettering L - London M - Manchester & Merseyside N - North O - Oxford P - Preston R - Reading S - Scotland V - Severn Valley W - West of England Y - Yorkshire So CX would be C = Wales, X = Bangor (W-Y) The second letter denotes the local DVLA office
