Can I buy name plates for cars?


In short, no. Name number plates or funny licence plates can not be displayed on vehicles that are being driven on UK roads. Registrations are an identifier for all vehicles that travel in and around the UK. ANPR cameras recognise registrations that pass them throughout the day and without them, there are a host of crimes that could be committed with car ‘undercover’. Fake plates could act as a way for individuals to hide the true identification of their vehicle.

For the purposes of an event or a photoshoot, a vehicle owner may wish to display car name plate. Such plates like ‘FERRARI’ or ‘ALFA’ can be displayed in this kind of setting. For purely decorative purposes in an off-the-road setting. This type of plate may not display a registration of any form.
