Standard Number Plates
From £29.99 per printed pair · shape included
Standard shape is included with every lettering finish. Choose a front plate, rear plate or pair in the builder.
Standard number plates measure 520mm × 111mm. Explore lettering, flags and borders, compare Short and Hex, and build a front, rear or pair with Paramount.
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

Standard number plates: our 520mm × 111mm shape
Standard is Paramount Plates’ full-size rectangular number plate, measuring 520mm wide and 111mm high with rounded corners. It is the included shape across our active lettering range, so there is no shape surcharge when you keep the standard outline.
A plate shape, with your choice of lettering
Standard describes the size and outline; Printed describes flat lettering. You can combine this shape with all nine lettering finishes: Printed, 3D Gel Resin, 4D 3mm Acrylic, 4D 5mm Acrylic, 4D Gel, Retro, Outline, Shadow and Hover. Compare the character construction on Our Styles before choosing the depth and surface finish you prefer.
- Shape: rectangular with rounded corners.
- Dimensions: 520mm × 111mm.
- Colours: white front plate and yellow rear plate.
- Starting price: £29.99 for a matching Printed pair; Standard shape is included.
Personalise either side of the car
Order a front plate, rear plate or pair in the builder. For a pair, “Same as front” keeps each option matched until you unlink it. You can use different lettering or borders on the two plates, or combine a Standard rear with a Short or Hex front.
A national flag or eligible green flash adds £2 per selected plate. A printed black border adds £1. The border keeps the same outer dimensions, while the builder shows how the chosen band and registration sit together.
Check your mounting area
Measure the available width and height, and check existing holes or the size of any plate holder before ordering. A full-size rectangle may cover marks that a shortened or angled plate would leave visible. Choose adhesive pads or a screw fixing kit to suit your mounting surface.
Ordering and delivery
We supply the physical plate for a registration you are entitled to use; buying a plate does not buy or assign a registration number. Your documents are checked before manufacture. See what to provide. Plate orders include free Royal Mail Tracked 48 delivery.

Letter styles

Retro
Pyramid-cut black characters whose sloping faces catch the light, in the manner of classic pressed plates.
Hover
Laser-cut black acrylic characters raised on a slimmer riser, so the lettering appears to float above the plate.
