Do UK Number Plates Have To Have a Manufacturer Displayed?

What Details Must Be Included on a UK Number Plate?

Do number plates have to show manufacturer details? It is required in the UK for number plates to show the name and postcode of the company producing the plate. It must show the name of the manufacturer along with the text ‘BSAU 145e’ in the bottom right corner. This regulation is set by the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA). At Uniplate, we supply all the equipment you need to manufacture and print plates that comply with all regulations.

What Do Number Plates Need to Include?

There are a few things that are essential for number plates to remain legally compliant as set by the DVLA. A few of the mandatory regulations, including the manufacturer information for number plates, include:

  • be made from a reflective material
  • display black characters on a white background (front plate)
  • display black characters on a yellow background (rear plate)
  • not have a background pattern
