Northern Territory Number Plates

The Northern Territory manages personalised plates through the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics (DIPL). NT plates carry the iconic ochre and maroon outback design that reflects the Territory's rugged landscape, making them some of the most distinctive plates in Australia. Custom plates start from around $250, and the Territory's smaller population means many desirable combinations are still available.

NT offers standard personalised plates, themed plates, and special-issue plates. The Territory has released limited runs over the years — including commemoration plates and tourism-themed designs — which are now collectible items on the secondary market. Motorcycle personalised plates are also available for Territory riders.

With a smaller pool of sellers and buyers locally, a national marketplace like AusPlates is especially valuable for NT plate owners. List your plate to reach buyers across Australia, or browse to find unique Territory combinations that carry that unmistakable outback character.
