Yes, you can add a slogan to your number plate! Many customers choose to personalize their plates with a custom message, tagline, or branding. 🚨 Important Notice: While slogans are a great way to add a personal touch, **number plates featuring a slogan without the correct supplier details and British Standard (BSAU 145e) markings are not road legal in the UK. These plates are considered show plates and should only be used off-road or for display purposes. ✅ Custom slogans available ❌ Not compliant with BSAU 145e if legal markings are missing For fully road-legal plates that meet UK regulations, we recommend omitting slogans or ensuring all required information is printed correctly.

Technically, yes — but with legal limitations. You can space your registration however you like when ordering online, and we will produce your number plate exactly as you enter it into the registration box. However, it's crucial to understand the legal implications. 🚨 Important Legal Notice Mis-spacing or misrepresenting characters on UK number plates is illegal under the Road Vehicles (Registration & Licensing) Regulations 1971. Plates that do not comply with DVLA-approved spacing rules can lead to: Fines MOT failures Vehicle seizure in serious cases ✅ Legal Number Plate Formatting Guidelines: Use the correct spacing as shown on your V5C Log Book or DVLA Document V796. Do not invent or alter registration numbers. The number must be assigned by DVLA and legally owned by you or the person you're buying for. Only one space is allowed, and it must be in the correct position (as per DVLA records). Note: We produce both legal and novelty (show) plates. For novelty uses (names, brands, etc.), spacing rules do not apply—but these plates are not road legal. 🔍 Reminder: NI Plate Company does not sell registration numbers — we only manufacture number plates for registrations you already legally own. Have questions about legal spacing? Contact us at sales@niplatecompany.co.uk for guidance.

Yes, all our road-legal number plates include the required legal information in small, discreet print at the bottom of the plate. 🔍 The printed text reads: “NI PLATE COMPANY BT23 7EU BSAU 145e” This is a legal requirement under UK law, ensuring that: ✅ Your number plate is DVLA and MOT compliant ✅ It can be traced by law enforcement or regulatory authorities if needed ✅ Your vehicle avoids fines or MOT failures due to non-compliant plates We do not use this space for advertising — the text is kept as small and subtle as possible to maintain a clean, professional look on your vehicle.

Yes, we offer green number plates with the official green EV flash — but only for eligible vehicles. The green flash is a special identifier for zero-emission electric vehicles, helping promote clean transport and access potential benefits like free parking or low-emission zone exemptions in some areas. ✅ What You Need to Know: Green plates are only available for 100% zero-emission vehicles (e.g., fully electric cars). You must provide proof of eligibility, such as your V5C log book showing your vehicle’s fuel type. The green flash appears on the left side of the front and rear plates. All other legal requirements still apply (white front plate, yellow rear plate, BSAU 145e markings, etc.). 🚫 Hybrids and plug-in hybrids do not qualify for green number plates. Want to check if your car qualifies? Contact us at sales@niplatecompany.co.uk and we’ll guide you through the verification process.

In most cases, number plate orders cannot be cancelled or fully refunded — and here’s why. 🛑 Number plates are a bespoke product, custom-made to your specific registration. As such, they are exempt from cancellation rights under UK consumer law, which applies to personalized or made-to-order items. However, we do offer partial refunds in certain circumstances: ✅ You can be refunded for: Postage fees (if the plates have not yet been dispatched) Accessories or fitting kits, if unused and returned in original condition ❌ You cannot be refunded for: Made-up number plates Custom show plates or personalized products We strongly advise double-checking your registration number before placing your order to avoid any issues. For any refund or cancellation inquiries, contact us at sales@niplatecompany.co.uk. We're happy to help where we can!
