Victoria Number Plates

Victoria has one of Australia's most popular personalised plate programs, administered by VicRoads (now part of the Department of Transport and Planning). Victorian plates are instantly recognisable with their classic dark blue and white colour scheme, though buyers can choose from a wide variety of styles. Options range from affordable custom text plates starting around $495 to exclusive prestige numeric plates that can command five or six figures on the secondary market.

VicRoads offers several plate categories: custom plates (choose your own combination of letters and numbers), heritage plates (with a classic serif font on a plain background), euro-style plates (slim rectangular format popular on European cars), and prestige plates (short numeric-only combinations that carry significant investment value). Signature and slimline formats are also available, giving Victorian drivers the widest selection of any state.

Buying and selling personalised plates in Victoria is straightforward — transfers can be done online through the VicRoads portal or at a VicRoads office. A marketplace like AusPlates makes it easy to compare prices and find the exact combination you're after, whether you're looking for your initials, a name, or a short premium number.
