from £2.00
The Green Flash with Union Flag is an optional printed marking for number plates made by us, for fully electric vehicles. It combines the green flash that identifies a zero-emission vehicle with the Union Flag printed inside it, in one marking on the leftmost edge of the plate face. It can be added to any plate style we make, from printed and 3D gel to every 4D style. It carries both markings at once, for a fully electric car whose owner also wants the flag.
Fits
Any car, van or motorbike plate we make, in any style. The marking is printed onto the plate as part of the reflective face when we make it. For the flash on its own, see the Green Flash; for the flag without the flash, see the Union Flag.
The green flash is permitted on eligible vehicles and is designed for fully electric vehicles, so do not add it to a plate for a vehicle that does not qualify. A national flag is permitted on the left of a UK plate. Neither marking replaces anything the law requires on the plate. The green flash by itself does not make a plate legal to use abroad, and nor does the flag. Check the rules of the country you are driving in.

Please note that by law we include our company name, postcode and BSAU number on the plate. The font style for all our plates is Charles Wright which is the legal UK road font, compliant with the law. The DVLA confirm that three-dimensional characters are legal and compliant with road laws, this includes ‘4D’ number plates, as 4D is only an industry standard name, and they are still classed as three-dimensional.
When buying number plates online, the only way to operate fully legally is for the Registered Number Plate Supplier to see the original physical documents in person. If you aren't local to us in County Durham, you will need to send us the documents in the post. The process is simple and the steps to take are explained in depth after you have placed your order. Once we have received your documents, we will produce your number plates and return the documents securely along with the number plates, using a tracked postal service.
The standard UK size for number plates are 520mm by 111mm. Please note this will vary if you opt for a shortened plate option. Shortened plates are cut down to a unique size depending on the length of your registration. Unlike our competitors, we cut these to whichever size you require rather than using pre-made short plates. We produce them to have a 16mm margin on all edges of the number plate, which leaves a nice even clean finish to your plate. If you require a specific size, please state this in the special requests box after clicking purchase. Legally, your number plates cannot have a margin any less than 11mm.
Utopia Plates does not sell show plates, as they could be used on the road, even though the manufacturer may sell them on the basis that they will not be. To avoid this, we will not sell show plates (this includes tinted plates, blank plates or those with non-standard spacing). We will only produce fully road legal plates, with standard spacing (as it appears on your V5C).
