There are some strict rules regarding number plates that have been set by the DVLA, and car owners can face fines if they are in breach of these.

Here are some examples of offending number plates:

The digits are obscured due to dirt, paint, or other markings
The number plate is damaged, or badly cracked
Regulation fonts and sizes have not been met
Incorrect spacing of the digits
The digits themselves have been altered
Front and rear number plates are the incorrect colour for the age of the vehicle

If your number plates need more than just a clean, the simple solution is to seek assistance from a professional garage such as Garage Services in Harrogate who will be able to provide replacements that match the specifications of your vehicle and also adhere to the regulations. We will also be pleased to fit the new plates for you.

Please note: in order for us to issue you new licence plates, you will need various forms for proof of ID and vehicle ownership. You can check these out on the DVLA website. If in doubt, please give Garage Services a call.

Driving a vehicle with illegal number plates can mean risking a fine, so it is important to observe the strict rules laid down by the DVLA.

Many owners are unaware that even dirty number plates are illegal, and there are several other reasons why your vehicle could be stopped by the roads police. Each of these examples represents a breach of regulations:

If the number plate is the wrong colour for the age or registration of the vehicle
The size, font, and spacing of the digits do not comply
If the number plate is in any way damaged so that the registration number is obscured
The digits have been altered and look like a different character.

The above may seem a daunting checklist to ensure your vehicle’s number plate is road-legal, but the solution can easily be found at Garage Services in Harrogate. We can provide number plates that meet the correct specifications and will be pleased to fit them to your vehicle. There are a number of official forms and documents we will need to see before we are able to provide your new plates, which will verify your identity, address, and vehicle ownership. You should be able to find all this information on the DVLA section of the .gov website. If you have any difficulties with this, please get in touch with Garage Services or visit our workshop in Harrogate.

What are the rules on number plates?
