Legal compliance
Plates made to the
legal requirements.
Every plate we make is produced to the legal requirements for number plates: the correct Charles Wright characters, correct spacing, the right reflective background (white front, yellow rear), solid black non-reflective characters, and the required supplier identification and British Standard marking.
These rules cover how a plate must be made and displayed. They’re separate from what a DVSA MOT tester checks — the MOT inspection looks at things like whether characters are correctly formed, evenly spaced, secure and not obscured; it does not check for the supplier’s name, postcode or BS number on the plate. A correctly made plate can still fail an MOT if it’s damaged, dirty, insecurely fitted or otherwise not properly displayed — meeting the legal requirements and passing an MOT are related but not the same thing.
Our Standard, 3D, 4D, 5D and Bevel styles are made to these requirements. Ghost’s specific construction and compliance information is being finalised — see the Ghost product page for its current status before ordering that style.

Yes. Order a single front or rear plate and tell us the size and style of the one you're keeping.
Report it to the police and keep the reference number, then order replacements. If you later get fines for journeys you didn't make, your registration may have been cloned — tell the police and whoever issued the fine.
