Number Plate Over Stickers

Take a look at the number plate on your motor vehicle... go on, take a look!! I bet there's some small print running along the top or bottom edge? That will be the name of the garage or dealer who originally sold the vehicle, usually a BIG brand local motor trader. During the course of its lifetime, the vehicle will have several owners, and the chances are pretty high that at some stage, it will find itself on a used-car motor traders forecourt. The last thing the motor trader wants is to promote another, competitive, vehicle supplier, and there it is, in the small print, running along every vehicle he has on his forecourt.. So what's he to do? change the numer plates? Well, for most garages, that's a non-starter, it's just too expensive to put new number plates onto every car that comes your way, but what's the alternative?

Number Plate Over Stickers are a fantastic way for all sorts of organisations and businesses to personalise the number plates or registration plates on their cars and other automotive vehicles with their own brand or message.  This is a much cheaper option than replacing the complete number plate.


However, as the number plate is a statutory requirement on all motor vehicles, it is essential that we help you to comply with any legal requirements and obligations.  Therefore we have put together this simple FAQ to give you the information you may need.

1. Is it legal to add a badge or image to the number plate over sticker?

Due to interpretations of the law we are unable to provide you with a single opinion, however we have been informed that in some parts of the country, trading standards have requested that number plate stickers only show telephone numbers and/or web site address.  We are advised that this is because they could be distracting.

2. Where can I find out more information about what I can/cannot have printed on a number plate over sticker?

We would advise that you talk to your local trading standards organisation (through your local County Council) about how they enforce the law in your area.  http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/

3. I am a car sales showroom, can I use Number Plate Over Stickers to promote my business?

In order for your number plate to be compliant with DVLA and VOSA regulations number plates are required to display the manufacturing RNPS number and supplying outlet name and postcode on the bottom of the number plate.  Number plate over stickers could be a simple and effective way to acheive this legal requirement.

4. We are a Car Owners Club and would like to use over stickers to promote our club, can we do this?

There are many car owners club around the UK and using over stickers with the club logo and name is a great way to increase the feeling of community amongst members, however you may only be able to use images and photos on show plates.

6. Can I print anything on to a number plate over sticker?

Yes, you can.  However you do need to bear in mind where these number plates are being used and if you intend to have them for legal use on the road there may be restrictions.  If you want them for use on show plates, then you can do pretty much whatever you would like.
