Legislation on Registered Plates : Terms of Use for this website
It is an offence to use a motor vehicle that displays any plate or item which could be mistaken for an authorised registration plate, i.e. novelty stickers or plastic plates.
Police and local authorities can (and do) fine people for not having the correct original plate on a vehicle, eg. using stick on plates. The law does not allow decal or 'stick on' registration plates.
Vehicles are only permitted to display official plates as prescribed in Section 14 of the Transport (Vehicle and Driver Registration and Licensing) Act 1986 and Section 2(2) of the Transport (Vehicle Registration and Licensing) Notice 1995. For your information, we have provided the legislation on Registration Plates:
