Import Number Plates – If you own or are thinking of buying/importing an import vehicle into the UK, then there are some things you need to know about number plates for them.
The DVLA currently states that Import vehicles with a design that cannot accommodate a standard size number plate and does not have a European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval can use the following font size:
- Character height 64 mm
- Character width 44 mm
- Character stroke 10 mm
- Character stroke 10 mm
- Space between characters 10 mm
These sizes are the same as a motorcycle number plate. But beware that this only applies to vehicles that meet the above criteria, no exceptions.
Also remember most import vehicles will have a 2 row numbering/lettering configuration on their back bumper/tail gate.
