What makes a number plate road-legal in Ireland?
Irish number plates must show black characters on a white reflective background, front and rear. Character height (max 70mm), width (max 36mm), 10mm stroke width, spacing, the Irish-language county name and the EU band with twelve gold stars and IRL are all set out in S.I. No. 318 of 1992 (as amended). We print every plate to those exact tolerances so it'll pass any roadside check or NCT inspection.

Frequently asked
Are your number plates road-legal in Ireland?
+
Yes. Every plate is printed to the S.I. No. 318 of 1992 specification — black characters on white reflective sheet, correct character height, stroke width and spacing, Irish county name on top and the EU/IRL band on the left. Irish law does not mandate one specific typeface, so we print in the standard character style used on factory-fitted Irish plates.
How much do number plates cost in Ireland?
+
We charge €17 for a single plate and €29 for a pair (front + rear), with each extra plate at €12. Shipping is calculated at checkout. There are no hidden fees.
How fast will my plates arrive?
+
Orders placed before 2pm Monday–Friday are dispatched the same working day via tracked post and typically arrive in 1-2 working days anywhere in Ireland.
What information do I need to order number plates?
+
Your registration: the year prefix (e.g. 261, 252, 10), your county code (e.g. D for Dublin, C for Cork) and your numerals. That's it — we print exactly what you enter.
