🚨 Ghost plates are back in the spotlight.
A BBC Panorama investigation has highlighted the growing problem of illegal number plates designed to evade police cameras.
It’s an issue we’ve been raising awareness of for years, because number plate crime doesn’t just affect the authorities. Innocent motorists can become victims too.
Cloned or stolen plates can leave drivers facing fines and penalties for journeys they never made.
We’ve been calling attention to illegal plate suppliers and number plate crime for some time, and our guide explains:
• What ghost and cloned plates are
• How to reduce the risk of plate theft
• What to do if your registration is cloned
• Why registered number plate suppliers matter

We've covered number plate theft and cloning before, and over the years we’ve helped countless victims, advising them on how to clear their names and providing a quick, affordable way to change their registration if it’s been cloned. Now there’s fresh hope for real change.

🐦 Number Plate Stories
A private number plate can mean so much more than a few letters and numbers. Sometimes, it’s about the things you love, and the people you love doing them with.

For Sarah & Joanne, that’s birdwatching, a shared passion that’s brought them closer together and taken them on plenty of adventures along the way in “Maggy”, their much-loved black and white car.

From hobbies and memories to family, pets and special moments, your perfect plate can be inspired by almost anything that matters to you.
