Number Plate Maker FAQ

Trusted by over 4 million customers. Find answers to your most common questions below.

How do I attach a number plate to my car?

Remove your old number plates and ensure the area is clean. Use sticky pads or supplied fitting screws to affix the new plate, following the instructions included with your fitting kit.

Does Plates Express Offer Fast Delivery?

Plates Express offers FAST delivery when you make an order within the dispatch deadline (shown at the top of each page). However, due to couriers and Royal Mail we cannot offer a guaranteed next-day delivery service. Currently, 92% of orders made before 2pm on a weekday arrive the next day.

Can I Cancel My Plates Express Order?

You may cancel your order at any point. All we ask is that you contact us within 1 hour of ordering as your order will be then sent to print and at that point can no longer be cancelled. However, due to the bespoke nature of our custom number plates we are unable to offer a full refund, though we can refund the cost of postage and fitting kits.

How do I fit my number plates?

We offer a number plate fitting kit available when you check out with us. You can either fit your new set of plates using sticky pads or affix them using screws. For a more detailed breakdown, see our number plate fitting page.

Are Different Text Styles Legal?

Each of the plate styles we offer are legal in the UK. Make sure to select 'Legal Plates' on the 'Plates Layout' dropdown before ordering your new plates. This includes all of the text styles we offer, such as 3D GEL number plates, 4D number plates, and 5D number plates.
