custom number plate cost

In Australia, custom number plate cost depends on your state and how flashy you get. Expect around AUD $150–$600 upfront for basic personalised formats, plus $0–$120 per year in ongoing fees depending on the jurisdiction. Go fancier—short combos, premium colours, themed or “prestige” plates—and you’re looking at about $1,000–$5,000+ upfront, sometimes with higher annual charges. “Used” plates aren’t really a thing, but collectible/heritage plates sold privately or at auction can land anywhere from several thousand to six figures, because bragging rights are taxable only in pride. Don’t forget little extras: remake/replacement fees, transfer charges, and postage that shows up like an uninvited cousin. Prices change, so check your state authority before you start rearranging vowels for maximum smugness.
