Flags & flashes
From £33.99 per printed pair · the Green Flash adds £2 per plate
Available on Standard and Short shapes; choose each plate separately in the builder.
Add a green flash to a Standard or Short plate on an eligible zero-emission vehicle, with separate lettering and border options for each plate.
You’ll need proof of identity (for example a driving licence or a recent bank statement) and proof of entitlement to the registration (for example your V5C). A clear phone photo is fine. Send them after you order. What we accept
Free Royal Mail Tracked 48. Production starts once your documents are verified — typically dispatched within 1–2 working days of approval, and Royal Mail aims to deliver within two to three working days of dispatch.
A green flash is the vertical green band at the left edge of a number plate. It is an optional identifier for a zero-emission vehicle, rather than a lettering style or a change to the registration itself.
Choose this option for an eligible zero-emission vehicle, such as a fully electric car. Petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles do not qualify simply because they have an electric motor or produce lower emissions. See GOV.UK number plate rules if you are unsure about eligibility.
The flash is printed as part of the plate face. Pair it with flat Printed lettering, glossy gel or raised acrylic, then choose a plain edge or printed black border. A border adds £1 per plate and is arranged to leave the band clear.
For a Short plate, the band adds space at the left without squeezing the registration area. This can increase the finished width compared with the same Short plate without a flash. Enter your registration in the builder to compare the complete design.
Select a front, rear or pair. The matching controls let you apply the flash to both plates or choose each side independently. Its £2 price is an addition to the plate price; lettering, shape and other extras contribute to the final total. It is supplied with your plates without separate postage.
