Irish vehicle registration plate
Endpoint GET /v1/ie/vehicle-registration
What it covers
Returns a realistic Irish vehicle registration plate. `type` selects the kind: `standard` (default, `YYY-CC-N…`, e.g. 231-D-12345), `taxi` and `electric` (identical `YYY-CC-N…` format), `temporary-import` (`ZZ NNNNN`, year-less), or `vintage` (`ZV NNNN`, year-less). `era` switches the year-and-county classes between `current` (2013+ three-digit-year), `legacy` (1987–2012 two-digit-year, may draw a retired index mark), or `both`. Pin the county index mark with `county` (an unknown county is a 400). Ireland issues no vanity plates and no plate carries a checksum. Use `format` to choose hyphenated, spaced, or compact rendering.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | integer1–1000 | Number of records to return, 1–1000 (your plan may lower this). Omitted returns a single record; set it for a batch. |
| county | string | Force the county index mark by name (e.g. Dublin, Kerry). An unknown county is a 400. |
| edge | boolean | Restrict output to edge-case plates from the rare corners of the format. |
| era | "current" | "legacy" | "both" | Registration era for year-and-county plates: current (2013+ YYY-CC-N…), legacy (1987–2012 YY-CC-N…), or both. Ignored for temporary-import / vintage. |
| extreme | boolean | Return a correct value wrapped in a hostile encoding (untrimmed whitespace, invisible/zero-width characters, BOM, or bidi/combining marks). Homoglyphs are excluded so the value stays machine-parseable; it still validates after normalisation. |
| format | "with-hyphen" | "with-space" | "compact" | Plate rendering: with-hyphen (default), with-space, or compact. |
| invalid | boolean | Return a deliberately invalid value that fails validation, for testing rejection paths. |
| seed | integer | Integer seed for reproducible output: the same seed always yields the same record. |
| type | "standard" | "temporary-import" | "vintage" | "taxi" | "electric" | Plate kind: standard, temporary-import, vintage, taxi, or electric. |
Response fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| value | string | The plate in the requested format, e.g. "231-D-12345". |
| type | "standard" | "temporary-import" | "vintage" | "taxi" | "electric" | Which kind of plate this is. |
| era? | "current" | "legacy" | Which era the plate belongs to: current (2013+ three-digit-year) or legacy (1987–2012 two-digit-year). Absent for the year-less classes. |
| county? | string | The county whose index mark heads the plate (Dublin, Cork, Kerry). Absent for temporary-import / vintage, which encode no county. |
| subregion? | string | The finer administrative unit for a retired index mark on a legacy plate (e.g. Limerick city → LK). Absent otherwise. |
