About customised number plates

You can customise standard number plates for a:

• motor vehicle
• national heavy vehicle number plate
• motorcycle
• special interest vehicle—green on white or black on white only
• large trailer
• small trailer.

You should customise standard number plates if:

• you want to keep the same number—if the plates need to be replaced
• a slimline plate is required—customising a currently issued standard plate
• you want to get a standard plate number that was issued in the past but is no longer in use—retro/previously issued plates.

Customised plate rules

Customised plates can:

• only be attached to a vehicle registered in exactly the same name as the owner/s of the plate number
• be kept when you transfer your vehicle—you will need to replace them with standard plates before transferring
• be kept when you cancel your vehicle registration
• be attached to another vehicle registered in the plate owner/s name/s
• be upgraded to personalised plates—personalised plate rules apply.

Customised plates will become standard number plates if attached to a vehicle when transferred.
