Flags & flashes
From £33.99 per printed pair · the Union Flag adds £2 per plate
Available on Standard and Short shapes; choose each plate separately in the builder.
Add a Union Flag to your Standard or Short number plate. Compare the printed badge, lettering and borders in the Paramount plate builder.
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.
The Union Flag brings its red, white and blue design to the left side of your number plate. Also known as the Union Jack, it is a British flag detail selected when your plate is made.
It gives the plate a recognisable national detail while leaving the main registration clear. Use the product photo and 3D preview to compare how the coloured flag sits against the white front or yellow rear plate. The flag sits within the plate design; it does not share the raised depth of gel or acrylic lettering.
Open the plate builder with Union Flag selected. Order a single front, single rear or pair. For a pair, leave “Same as front” on to match the flag, or switch it off to choose the rear independently. Both sides keep the same registration.
On a Short plate, the band extends the layout at the left while preserving the registration area. Allow for that when comparing width. A black border can be added alongside the flag on Standard and Short shapes.
The flag is not sold on its own. The price at the top of this page is a printed pair with the flag on both plates; your total follows the lettering, shape and any other options you choose. It is made and delivered with your plates, with no separate flag postage charge.
