Fitting plates to your vehicle
Screws are not supplied with plates issued by DTMI.
Once you’ve ordered corporate series plates and your application has been approved, the plates will be sent to your nominated collection site. Plates will not be handed over unless they can be attached to a licensed vehicle at the time of collection. If this isn’t possible, they will be retained at a DTMI service centre or regional agent until the vehicle is ready.
You must remove the old plates and fit the new ones yourself, or ask a car dealership or garage to do it for you.
Why number plates matter
WA number plates identify licensed vehicles. If you’re responsible for a vehicle, you must ensure plates are securely attached and clearly visible, in accordance with the Road Traffic (Vehicles) Regulations 2014.
WA number plates mustn’t be used for decorative purposes or kept for sentimental reasons. If no longer in use, they must be returned to DTMI. Failure to do so may result in a fine.
Using a bike rack or mobility device?
If your rear plate is obscured by a bike rack or wheelchair carrier, you must purchase and attach an auxiliary plate. Refer to Auxiliary plates.
Lost, stolen or damaged plates?
If your plates are lost, stolen, or damaged, you’ll need to follow the standard replacement procedure. Refer to Replace lost/stolen or damaged number plates.
