Acrylic Number Plates — Common Questions

  • What are acrylic number plates?
    The standard road-legal plate used on UK vehicles — a rigid acrylic backing with reflective sheeting and printed characters in the DVLA-approved Charles Wright font.
  • Are acrylic number plates road legal?
    Yes, provided they meet DVLA regulations: correct font, correct spacing, correct size, and correct reflectivity. Front plate white, rear plate yellow.
  • What size should acrylic number plates be?
    Standard cars: 520mm × 111mm. Motorcycle plates: 228mm × 178mm. Characters must be 79mm tall with a 14mm stroke width and approved spacing.
  • Can I customise acrylic number plates?
    You can add a GB badge, flag, or 3D gel characters within DVLA rules. You cannot change the font, spacing or character colours on road-legal plates.
  • How long do acrylic number plates last?
    Typically 5–10 years with normal use. UV-stabilised materials resist fading. Replace plates if characters become hard to read — illegible plates can result in a fine.
  • Can I get an acrylic show plate with my cherished number?
    Yes — New Reg can supply acrylic show plates for display purposes. For road use, plates must be made by a registered number plate supplier using your assigned registration.
