Specifically designed for smaller registration numbers, these plates combine premium quality and practicality, making them the ideal choice for drivers who want their car to stand out.

What Are Short Plates?

Short number plates are perfect for shorter registrations, as they give your car a proportional, clean look. Moreover, we offer them in three custom sizes to fit your specific registration needs:

  • 18-inch plates for 7-digit registrations
  • 16-inch plates for 6-digit registrations
  • 14-inch plates for 5-digit registrations

These tailored sizes not only increase the aesthetic appeal of your vehicle but also ensure the plates fit seamlessly.

At the Number Plate Hub, we don’t just provide plates; we offer customization to suit your style. While all our Number Plates are made using premium, durable materials, you can take it further with these exciting upgrades:

Additionally, these upgrades are perfect for those who want to create a standout aesthetic for their vehicle.

To make things even easier, we include free fixings with every order, ensuring quick and hassle-free installation. Furthermore, you can rest assured that all our plates meet DVLA and MOT regulations. If you’re unsure about the legality of 3D Gel or 4D Acrylic plates, you can easily check the official GOV.UK number plate guidelines.

Do I need to provide documents?

Yes. UK law requires all registered number plate suppliers to verify your identity and your entitlement to the registration before producing road legal number plates.

This helps prevent cloned vehicles, fraudulent registrations and illegally produced number plates.

Do I need to post my documents?

No. There is no need to print or post anything.

Once you’ve placed your order, you can upload your documents securely online in just a couple of minutes using our document upload form.

What documents do I need?

You’ll need one proof of identity and one proof of entitlement to the registration number.

A full list of accepted documents can be found in the sections below.

When do I upload my documents?

After placing your order.

Once checkout is complete, you’ll be directed to our secure upload page where you can submit your documents online. We will then verify them and move your order into production.

Are 3D & 4D number plates road legal?

Yes. Our road legal 3D and 4D number plates are fully compliant with DVLA regulations and will pass an MOT when fitted correctly.

To remain road legal, the characters must meet current DVLA requirements and be finished in gloss black. Styles such as Carbon and Crystal are not road legal for use on UK roads.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. All of our number plates come with a 3 Year Warranty as standard.

You can also upgrade to a Lifetime Warranty during checkout, covering your plates against manufacturing defects for life.

Show plates are manufactured for display purposes only and are not intended for use on public roads.

If you select show plates, we will manufacture them exactly as entered, including custom spacing, wording or layouts. Show plates do not include legal markings and are supplied strictly for off-road or show use.

Are Show Plates legal?

No. Show plates are not legal for use on UK roads.

They are supplied for display purposes only. Any use on public roads is entirely at the owner’s responsibility.
