Slimline number plates

You can order a slimline number plate for your vehicle. Slimline plates are narrower than standard issue plates and may better fit your vehicle's number plate mountings.

Slimline plates are available for order for an additional slimline number plate fee (refer to Miscellaneous fees).

You can purchase slimline plates for:

• general issue number plates
• custom plates
• slimline black and white number plates
• eligible Club Permit plates (External link)
• special interest 'thoroughbred country' number plates (External link)
• hire vehicle number plates.

Slimline plates are not available for motorcycles, trailers or national heavy vehicle plates.

Size of slimline plates

The size of slimline plates is specific to the number of letters and numbers that appear on the plate.

For example:

• six character plates - typically 372mm long x 100mm high
• five character plates - typically 315mm long x 100mm high
• four characters or less - typically 250mm long x 100mm high

Note: colour choice may also impact the sizing of the plate. See VicRoads Customs Plates for all available options and sizes.
