National flags on number plates

What can I display on my number plates?

You can display one of the following flags with identifying
letters on the left-hand side of the number plate:

• Union flag
• Cross of St George
• Cross of St Andrew – also known as the Saltire
• Red dragon of Wales

The letters, or national identifiers, you can have are:

• GREAT BRITAIN, Great Britain or GB
• UNITED KINGDOM, United Kingdom or UK
• ENGLAND, England, ENG or Eng
• SCOTLAND, Scotland, SCO or Sco
• CYMRU, Cymru, CYM or Cym
• WALES or Wales

You cannot have the flag or letters on the number plate
margin, and neither can be more than 50 millimetres
wide.

Vehicles which have both the letters ‘UK’ and the
Union flag on their number plate do not need to display a separate UK sticker when travelling in the EU unless they are travelling to Spain, Malta or Cyprus.
