  • ARE 3D & 4D PLATES LEGAL?
    The short answer is YES. 3D plates and 4D plates are still legal. You can breathe a sigh of relief.

  • DO YOU OFFER TRADE DISCOUNT FOR BULK ORDERS?
    Yes, Please contact our sales team at sales@niplatecompany.co.uk, and we can provide you with a quote!
  • CAN YOU HAVE A SLOGAN ON YOUR NUMBER PLATE?
    Yes, you can have a slogan on your number plate, however we warn all customers that without the proper supplier information at the bottom, these do not conform to the BSAU 145e standards
  • HOW CAN I SPACE MY REGISTRATION? CAN YOU SPACE OUT NUMBER PLATES?
    To mis-space or mis-represent the digits on number plates is an offence under the Road Vehicles (Registration & Licensing) Regulations 1971. Be sure to enter your registration number correctly because the finished number plates will be made to the same spacing you enter into the Registration Box on the store. Be sure to enter your registration number as shown on your Log Book (V5) or DVLA document V796 (available in pdf on the web). This applies to number plates only and not novelty plates (names etc …). Very Important. You cannot simply make up a registration number and use it on the UK highway. Either yourself or the person you’re buying for must already own the registration number you will use. NI Plate Company do not sell registration numbers, we simply make number plates. You can space your registration exactly as you would like and it will be made as you see online, but to be Road compliant you will only need to add one space in the registration and in the correct location. We leave the choice up to you as you know your Registration Number better than us!
  • DO YOUR PLATES INCLUDE YOUR LEGAL DETAILS?
    They certainly do in tiny writing at the bottom of the plates. The details are “NI PLATE COMPANY BT23 8GW BSAU 145e”. This is a legality as it means the police or authorities can check if they are genuine and your vehicle will pass the MOT check. We do not use this for advertising that’s why we keep it so small.
  • DO YOU MAKE SHOW PLATES?
    Yes
  • CAN I GET A GREEN NUMBER PLATE?
    All modern number plates are yellow on the rear and white on the front. If you would like a number plate with a green EV flash, then yes, you can get one of these from us. However, you must prove that your vehicle is eligible for one.
  • CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?
    There are some orders where you won’t have the right to cancel, These include items that are bespoke or personalised. Made up Number Plates are a bespoke item, therefore we are unable to offer a full refund, we can however refund the cost of your postage, accessories, and fitting kits.
