What is classed as a legal UK number plate?

In the UK registration there are really stringent rules regarding what is classed as legal when it comes to number plates. Here, we will guide you through the DVLA's (previously known as DVLC) rules for legal number plates, including some common faults.

Legally displaying your number plates.

Legally, the number plates attached to your car are required to be made by a manufacturer that is registered on the DVLA's Register of Number Plate Suppliers (RNPS).

The rules concerning the creation of number plates are very specific:

Number plates must fit with the British Standard
Use the typical typeface
Be of certain size
Be printed using the correct colouring

There are options for motorcycles, tricycles and traditional (black and white/ silver) number plates.

All reputable number plate manufacturers will certainly be aware and also stick to the DVLA's regulations. This is extremely important as vehicle registration marks must be displayed in accordance with The Road Vehicles Regulations 2001.
