What makes your number plates legal?
We pride ourselves on supplying legal number plates.
The top three things to look out for on number plates are:
- Digits
- Spacing
- Supplier details
- The new British Standard mark (BS AU 145e)
There is also an option to customise with borders and flags.
Our products are British Standard BS AU 145e compliant and our Click & Reserve process is legally allowed (because you show documents in-store).

What size number plates do you sell?
We cater for more than 95% of the UK's number plates, including standard oblongs with or without flags (90%) plus rear plates for 4x4s, oversize plates and motorcycle number plates.
Can I change the spacing of my registration?
Number plates should show your vehicle registration number in the same format as it appears on the V5 logbook.
The DVLA say it is illegal to rearrange letters or numbers, or alter them so that they’re hard to read.

Can I have a flag on my number plates?
Yes, you can. We currently offer regional flags or the green flash (for zero-emission vehicles only).
Can I have a border on my number plates?
A black border is optional on all our number plates.
What detail will be on the bottom of my plates?
By law, the name and postcode of the supplying outlet must appear in the centre at the bottom of a number plate. As your chosen Collection Point is the outlet recording your details, their name and postcode will appear on your plates, not replacemyplates.com.
You will also see JEPSON BS AU 145e in the bottom right hand corner. This confirms that the materials used to make your number plates meet the British Standard.
