What Number Plates are Legal in the UK?

When it comes to displaying number plates on your vehicle in the UK, it's crucial to understand what's legal and what's not. The last thing any driver needs is to be pulled over or fined for having an illegitimate number plate. So, what number plates are legal?

The UK Government regulations are explicit: number plates must be made from a reflective material. The front plate should have black characters on a white background, while the rear plate should have black characters on a yellow background.

Notably, the regulations state that 3D raised lettering is legal. This opens up a world of possibilities for those looking to add a distinctive touch to their vehicle, without crossing any legal boundaries.
