Plate code KN — Northampton (K)

Code KN on a plate means Northampton (K) (United Kingdom).

Code KN used to mean: Maidstone (codes before 2001). Code of the 1903–2001 system: it stood for a county or borough council, and from 1974 for a local DVLA office. The name gives the last office; the code's full history is in the local name. It is no longer issued with this meaning.

Custom text: real plates never carry this combination.

This image is not a license plate: it must not be fitted to a vehicle and does not mean the combination is available.
