Material, shapes and availability
Number plates are available in plastic or metal. Plastic is the preferred material used
by the majority of the motorists. They are also more common than their metal
counterpart and are issued as standard plates by Kholwa.
The most common size is identical to the European number plates' size (110x520mm).
However, a shorter plate is also common (120x440mm). Other shapes such as
merican and motorbike sizes are also available. Number plates can be made
over the counter at Kholwa Sign Master, although the vehicle registration
document may be required.
From 1 February 2010 a process will start to replace all number plates in South Africa
to an aluminum numberplate. The proses is supposed to complete by 1 November 2013.
The numbering structure on plates will also change.
