Your Guide to UK Number Plates: Legality and Style
Understanding the regulations around number plates is essential for any UK driver. The latest standard, BS AU 145e, was introduced to improve plate durability and readability for ANPR cameras. Consequently, all our products, including our popular Diamond Number Plates and Retro Number Plates, are manufactured to meet this stringent standard. This means the correct font (Charles Wright), character spacing, and material reflectivity are all guaranteed.
The Difference Between Legal Plates and “Show Plates”
A common point of confusion is the difference between road-legal plates and “show plates.” A road-legal plate must display the manufacturer’s name and postcode, along with the BS AU 145e mark. Conversely, show plates are for off-road use only and may feature custom fonts, incorrect spacing, or logos, making them illegal for public highways. As a trusted plate maker, Car Number Plates Store UK only supplies fully compliant, road-legal number plates.
4D vs 3D Number Plates: A Closer Look
The choice between 4D and 3D plates often comes down to personal style. 4D plates are made from laser-cut acrylic, giving them a sharp, defined, and impactful look. They create a noticeable raised effect that adds a modern, aggressive touch to any vehicle. On the other hand, 3D Gel plates use a polyurethane resin to create a smoother, more rounded “domed” effect. This style offers a premium, glossy finish that is more subtle than 4D but equally stylish. Both styles are fully legal when made to BS AU 145e standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are 3D and 4D number plates legal in the UK?+
Yes, absolutely. Both 3D Gel and 4D Acrylic number plates are 100% road legal, provided they are made to the current British Standard (BS AU 145e). This standard dictates the font, spacing, reflectivity, and durability. All plates from Car Number Plates Store UK are guaranteed to be fully compliant.
Will my new plates pass an MOT test?+
Yes. Because our plates are manufactured to meet all DVLA and BS AU 145e requirements, they will pass any MOT test without issue. An MOT failure would only occur with plates that have incorrect spacing, illegal fonts, tints, or lack the required supplier markings, which we never produce.
How long does delivery take?+
We dispatch orders quickly using tracked delivery services. Typically, if you place your order and provide valid documentation before our daily cut-off, your plates can be manufactured and sent out on the same day, ensuring you receive them as fast as possible.
Why do I need to provide documents to order?+
As a DVLA-registered number plate supplier, we are legally required to see proof of your identity and your entitlement to the registration number. This is a crucial anti-crime measure to prevent vehicle cloning. Any supplier not asking for documents is operating illegally.
