New style number plates for motor vehicles will be introduced in the Isle of Man, from September 1st.
Tynwald unanimously approved an order, from the Department of Transport, which will ensure the Island complies with the latest British standard.
Among other things the new style plates will have bigger letters and numbers, and hyphens between the sets of characters.
They will also have a larger "three-legs" emblem.
Transport Minister John Shimmin told members the aim was to make it easier to enforce road traffic law.
All vehicles registered from September the first must have the new style plates.
