UK Number Plate Legality | Vision Number Plates

Road-legal number plates in the UK

Road-use number plates must follow the applicable UK rules for character style, spacing, reflective materials, required supplier and manufacturer markings and the relevant British Standard.

BS AU 145e number plates

Vision offers road-legal number plate options manufactured to meet the required BS AU 145e specification where applicable. The plate must also use the correct registration format, spacing and legal markings.

3D Gel and 4D number plates

Raised digit styles can be legal when the complete plate meets the current road-use requirements. The appearance of the digits alone does not determine legality.

Show plates

Show-style plates that do not meet road-use requirements are intended for display, events, photography or off-road use only and must not be used on public roads.

Proof documents

For road-legal plates, customers must provide acceptable proof of identity and entitlement to the registration before the plates can be supplied.
