Non Commercial Trailer Number Plate (Same Reg as Your Car)

Trailer & Caravan Number Plate (Non-Commercial) – Same Reg as Your Car

Need a rear plate for your trailer or caravan for ordinary UK towing? Our non commercial trailer number plate is DVLA-compliant, made using top-quality materials, and fully legal for UK roads. Whether you’re towing a caravan, box trailer, or car transporter, this plate displays your tow vehicle’s own registration in a clean, durable finish.

This is the plate almost every UK driver needs for everyday towing. If you’re towing a trailer over 750kg abroad in Europe, you’ll need our separate Commercial Trailer Number Plate (DVLA TRN) instead, which displays a unique DVLA-issued registration for the trailer itself.

Do You Legally Need a Trailer Number Plate?

A trailer, caravan or anything you’re towing doesn’t get its own separate registration for everyday UK use – it must display the exact same registration number as the towing vehicle. A rear trailer number plate becomes a legal requirement whenever the trailer, caravan, or load you’re carrying (including bike racks) blocks the view of your car’s own rear plate.

✔ Must show the exact same reg as the towing vehicle – no substitutions

✔ Required whenever your car’s plate is obscured from view

✔ Must comply with BS AU 145e (correct font, spacing and reflective material)

✔ Should be lit or reflective so it stays visible after dark

👉 It doesn’t need to match your car’s plate style – a standard printed trailer plate is legal even if your car has 4D or gel plates fitted

Note: this is separate from the DVLA’s international Trailer Registration Number (TRN) scheme, which only applies if you’re towing a trailer over 750kg abroad in Europe. See our Commercial Trailer Number Plate (DVLA TRN) for that.

Upgrade Your Plate Style (Optional)

You can still customise your trailer plate with premium finishes:

– 4D number plates – Sharp, raised acrylic lettering

– 4D Gel number plates – Gloss + depth combined

– 3D gel number plates – Subtle gloss finish with raised gel characters for a premium look

👉 Upgrading your plate style adds a more premium look while staying fully legal.
