Moped number plates

Need a new plate for your moped? Or thinking of getting a custom plate?

We’ve broken down the rules and regulations of moped number plates so you have all you need to get a new plate.

You have to follow the basic rules of plates which are:

• It must be made from a reflective material
• Display black characters on a white background (front plate if applicable)
• Display black characters on a yellow background (rear plate)
• It can’t have a background pattern

• Characters on a number plate can be 3D. Klick plates offer a range of plates with 3D characters.

According to UK regulations motorcycles registered from 1 September 2001 must only display a number plate at the back of the vehicle.  Whilst motorcycles registered before 1 September 2001 can display a number plate at the front, but do not have to.

The main difference between a car plate and one for a moped is the size, this is why there are different rules on dimensions.

• The characters on a number plate cannot be spread over 3 lines and have to stick to 2.
• Characters must be 64mm tall and Characters (except the number 1 or letter I) must be 44mm wide
• The character stroke (the thickness of the black print) must be 10mm
• The space between characters must be 10mm
• The space between the age identifier and the random letters must be 30mm
• The margins at the top, bottom and side of the plate must be at least 11mm
