About personalising your number plate

You can personalise your motor vehicle number plate with any name/number of your choice (subject to MEC approval), provided that the number is available and is not offensive.

Your chosen name/number must comply with the requirements of a normal number plate (e.g. it must display the logo of the province) and that name/number will be displayed in the same manner as the normal number plate. The name/number you use will not be duplicated for someone else to use.

What you should do

• Go to your nearest registering authority and complete an application form that will be issued by them.
• Provide a certified copy of your identity document and a vehicle registration certificate and pay the required fee.
