The number plates on your vehicle must: Be made from a reflective material, display black characters on a white background (front plate), and black characters on a yellow background (rear plate). They cannot have a background pattern and must be marked to show who supplied the number plate and have a British Standard number - this is ‘BS AU 145e’ for plates fitted after 1 September 2021. The characters must not be removable or reflective. If your number plates were fitted after 1 September 2021, they must also be a single shade of black. Also, we cannot alter the spacing of characters for a registration.

Motorcycles and motor tricycles registered on or after 1 September 2001 must only display a number plate at the rear of the vehicle. If you ride a motorbike or motor tricycle registered before 1 September 2001 you can also display a number plate at the front, but you do not have to. Motorcycle and motor tricycle number plate numbers should be on 2 lines.
