Number Plates in Kent & Medway
Looking for road-legal number plates in Kent or Medway? RFB Number Plates supplies custom number plates for cars, vans and motorcycles, all manufactured at our Rochester location. Whether you need a straightforward replacement or want to upgrade to something with more style, we have eight plate designs to choose from and sizes to fit any vehicle.
Every plate we make meets BS AU 145e regulations, which means correct fonts, proper spacing and materials that pass MOT inspection. We're a registered supplier, so you can fit your plates with confidence knowing they're fully compliant.
Number Plate Styles We Offer
Not all plates are created equal. While standard printed plates do the job, many drivers across Kent prefer something that adds a bit of character to their vehicle. Here's what we can make for you:
3D Gel Number Plates
Our most popular choice. 3D gel plates feature raised, domed lettering with a smooth glossy finish. The polyurethane resin coating gives each character a premium look that catches the light beautifully. Fully road legal and available in all standard sizes.
Glitter Number Plates
Want your plates to stand out? Our glitter finish adds subtle sparkle without compromising legality. Choose from blue, red, pink or orange to match your style or your paintwork. Popular with drivers in Medway who want their car to turn heads.
Tinted Number Plates
For a sleeker, more understated look, tinted plates offer a darker background while keeping the characters clearly visible. Perfect for darker vehicles where bright white plates feel out of place.
Short Number Plates
If your registration has fewer characters, why use a full-size plate? We offer custom sized plates from 2 digits right up to the standard 7. Ideal for imported vehicles, cherished registrations or simply achieving a cleaner look.
Plate Sizes Available
We manufacture number plates in multiple sizes to suit different vehicles and mounting spaces:
- Standard oblong (520mm x 111mm) which fits most UK cars
- Square rear plates (279mm x 203mm) which are common on 4x4s and imports
- Custom short plates which are sized to your registration length
