Are Motorcycle Number Plates Legal?
Yes, 9×7 inch standard motorcycle number plates are entirely legal in the UK. They meet all DVLA regulations, including size, font, spacing, and reflectivity.
When you choose the “Legal” plate type in our plate maker, you can be confident that your number plate will fully comply with UK laws.
The Difference Between Custom Motorcycle Plates and Legal Plates
Understanding the difference between custom and legal motorcycle plates is crucial for both style and compliance.
To be road-legal, motorcycle plates must meet DVLA standards for size (9×7 inch is the only UK legal size), font, spacing, and reflectivity.
At Plates Express, our show plate maker includes a “Legal” option, ensuring your custom plates comply with UK regulations. This allows you to enjoy a personalised look while riding confidently within the law.
Motorcycle show plates are designed for display purposes only, offering maximum customisation for events, exhibitions, or off-road use. Using them on public roads can result in fines or penalties.
At Plates Express, we offer a range of options for both legal and show plates, ensuring you have the perfect plate for any occasion.
