A Personalised number plate is a customised vehicle registration plate that allows you to choose a unique combination of letters and numbers, as well as the plate colour and size that reflects your interests, or individuality.

Personalised number plate combinations must include a total of 6 characters, starting with letters followed by at least one number. This plate uniquely displays the South Australian Piping Shrike state badge between the letters and numbers.

How do I order a Personalised licence plate?

Enter the combination you would like to check for availability. Select your preferred options, preview your plate in real time and proceed to checkout.

Why should I order a slim plate?

A slim plate can give your car a sleek and stylish appearance to create a refined look. Some vehicles are better suited to slim plates. We suggest you measure the space available for your licence plate to decide if slim plates are going to fit your vehicle.

How do you attach Personalised number plates to your vehicle?

Your Personalised plates can be attached using any screws that fit the holes available, however using anti-theft screws provides the most secure option. These are available from any auto or car parts store.

If you are having any issues with attaching your Personalised number plate, we recommend contacting your local auto service repairer for assistance.
