What is a Personalised plate?

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.

What’s the difference between a Personalised plate and a Custom plate?

Both plates allow you to choose your own combination, but there are some unique differences.
