If you drive the A9 in or out of Inverness, your number plate is read again and again. Average speed cameras time each car between camera points by recognising its plate, and they cover the road all the way from Dunblane.
We make plates in our own workshop near Heathrow, 563 miles from Inverness by road, so all the number plates Inverness and Highland customers order go out by Royal Mail. Every set is made to BS AU 145e with the legal font and spacing, and we check your ID and V5C first, which you can send by WhatsApp.

A plate that’s faded, cracked or spaced wrongly is easier for any camera to misread. If yours has seen a few Highland winters, a fresh set is cheap insurance.
No Low Emission Zone in Inverness
Scotland’s four LEZs are in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee. Inverness doesn’t have one, but if you’re heading south to any of those cities, check your car meets the standard first.

Caravans, trailers and the North Coast 500
Inverness is where the North Coast 500 route starts and finishes, and plenty of Highland driving involves something on the back. Here’s where each of the number plates Inverness drivers tow with should go:
Caravan or trailer behind your car
It shows the towing car’s registration. Our non-commercial trailer plate is £19.99.
Trailer with its own DVLA number
Use the trailer registration on a commercial trailer plate, also £19.99.
Motorhome or campervan
It’s a vehicle in its own right, so it takes normal front and rear plates with its own registration.
Delivery north
