FAQ ON GHOST NUMBER PLATES

1. What exactly are ghost number plates (or 4D ghost plates)?
Ghost number plates, also called ghost 4D plates, feature raised or outlined acrylic characters that create a subtle “shadow” or outline effect. This gives your registration a modern and stylish appearance compared to standard flat plates.
2. Are ghost number plates legal in the UK?
Yes,  Ghost plates are road-legal if they meet DVLA requirements: black characters, reflective material, correct spacing and margins, and the BS AU 145e standard marking.
3. What is the difference between ghost number plates and standard 4D plates?
Ghost plates usually feature a layered or outlined design, creating a “ghosted” shadow effect. Standard 4D plates are raised acrylic letters without the outline effect. Both styles can be legal provided they meet the DVLA’s rules.
4. Do ghost / 4D plates pass MOT tests?
Yes, road-legal ghost and 4D plates will pass an MOT, as long as they are made from reflective material, use the correct font, and comply with spacing rules.
5. Will ghost / 4D plates affect ANPR or camera recognition?
No, compliant ghost and 4D plates are fully readable by ANPR and traffic cameras. Problems only occur with illegal plates that are altered to reduce readability.
6. What documents do I need to buy ghost / 4D plates?
To purchase road-legal plates, you’ll need proof of identity (e.g. driving licence) and proof of entitlement to the registration (e.g. V5C logbook).
7. What are the penalties for using illegal number plates?
Using non-compliant plates risks a fine of up to £100, MOT failure, and possible police action. It’s always best to stick to fully legal plates on the road.
8. How do I make sure my ghost plates are road-legal?
Check that your plates use the Charles Wright font, have correct character size and spacing, are made from reflective material, and display the supplier’s details along with the BS AU 145e mark.
9. How much do ghost plates cost compared to standard plates?
Ghost and outline 4D plates typically cost more than standard flat plates, due to the premium materials, layered design and laser-cut finish.
10. Do you offer custom options like coloured designs?
Yes, alongside our road-legal ghost number plates, we also offer show plates with colours behind the characters for customers who want a more personalised or eye-catching style. These are strictly for off-road or display use.
