47Plate
A way to contact a driver
who has chosen to be reachable.
47Plate is being developed around a simple idea: use a vehicle’s registration number to contact an opted-in person, without needing their personal phone number. Consent and controls against unwanted contact are essential parts of the intended service.
Earlier software is being restored under the working name 47Plate. No public contact service is available.
What the service needs to get right
Choosing to receive messages, controlling contact and handling abuse must work together. A registration number should not become an invitation to expose someone’s identity or contact details.
Where the work stands
Recovered software has documented test results. That is a starting point for restoration, not evidence of a working public directory or messaging service. The complete consent, lookup, contact and abuse-handling journey still needs verification.
