South Australia Number Plates

South Australia runs one of the most diverse personalised plate programs in the country, administered by the Department for Infrastructure and Transport through the EzyPlates platform. SA offers everything from affordable personalised plates at a flat $219 to historic numeric plates that change hands for six figures at auction. The secondary market also offers good value for buyers looking for short or meaningful combinations.

Available plate styles include custom plates (1-7 characters, the most flexible option), personalised plates (6 characters with the SA Piping Shrike badge, $219 flat fee), premium plates (sleek monochromatic designs from $181), euro plates (slim European format), Japanese plates (released in 2024 for JDM vehicles), R&S Series retro plates, Koala State wildlife plates, and rare numeric plates available only at auction. SA offers more plate variety than most people realise.

Transferring personalised plates in South Australia is handled through Service SA centres. AusPlates provides a convenient way for South Australian buyers and sellers to find each other — whether you are listing a plate you no longer need or searching for a specific combination to personalise your vehicle.
