The rule change is said to have been made to be “inclusive of Northern Ireland” in the wake of Brexit. Those drivers who chose to invest in the new GB plates earlier in the year to be able to drive freely in Europe will now have to either buy a UK sticker or another set of number plates. Now, just a few months later, the rules have changed again, with GB number plates and stickers being replaced by UK ones. While the previous EU and GB designs, along with the identifiers of Scotland and Wales, would remain legal, you would need a GB sticker for driving abroad. The new design featured the Union Flag and the ‘GB’ identifier. Until that date, you could drive your car in Europe with a number plate showing the EU flag with ‘EU’ beneath it. The British government changed the rules for UK number plates on 1st January 2021 at the end of the Brexit transition period. The iconic GB sticker has been proudly displayed by British motorists driving overseas for 111 years, but that’s all about to change. If you’re planning to drive your car abroad after 28th September 2021, you will now have to have a number plate with a UK identifier or display a UK sticker instead of GB.
