Are Lipped Number Plates UK Road Legal?
UK drivers must adhere to certain standards and rules when it comes to number plates on their vehicles. As specified by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), number plates must be made from a reflective material, have lipped edges, display black characters on a white background for the front plate, and have black characters on a yellow background for the rear plate. Additionally, there can be no background patterns; the pure white or yellow canvas is intended to ensure that numbers are readable and legible at all times. Ultimately, these regulations ensure that cars can be identified throughout the UK.

Our lipped number plates are perfectly legal and have been adopted by more and more drivers that want distinctive plates to give them a personal touch. Most famously seen on cars owned by car dealerships and manufacturers, these plates enable them to advertise their business – as well as anyone else looking to get the word out about what they do. On this type of plate, you can add any company name, logo or number desired to tailor the plate exactly to your needs. No matter how long or short your slogan is we’ve got you covered; though take note that some popular phrases such as ‘if you’re reading this you’re too close’ or ‘ride it as you stole it’ may have been a little overused already! There’s no limit; so use this opportunity to express yourself through the power of lipped number plates.
