Reg plates with EU logo
What happens to the registration plates with the Eu logo on them on our caravan and cars now we are not in the EU. Anyone know.

Possibly the same as our passports; i.e. nothing initially. I declined to have the EU symbol on my plates and I'd quite like my black UK passport back.

Nothing for the next two years, at least, because we are still, officially, members of the EU. Thereafter I would imagine we would revert to using a GB sticker. There is no legal requirement at the moment to have plates with the EU symbol providing you
use a GB sticker. We will have to wait until the dust settles before we know any policy changes. I don't suppose anyone will be best pleased if we suddenly have to replace number plates and passports at our expense!!!David

We are still in the EU until the treaties have all been signed, and apparently that process won't even start until October 2016. I don't think any of us need to start worrying for a few months yet.
Our EU symbol is a self-stick decal bought on ebay for not much at all, and I'm sure they will be selling GB stickers. However, perhaps by then we may just be England and Wales(????) and have a different flag entirely!

Simple , take a black marker pen and cross it out ,and then put a GB sticker over it , but more to the point why worry over a trival thing?????

I was going to post something like this as a tongue in cheek question to lighten a very dismal day. As has been previously posted: plates should be valid until the decree absolute is issued. Then it's back to GB plates, stopping at all EU borders and
all sorts of jollifications.0 -
Re Plates and refund - Perhaps Nigel F will take them to Brussels for you when he pops back over there to the day job.

Could create another ptoblem. I don't know about anyone else but I have a selection of number plates from old tow cars in my garage that have come off the caravan. Anyone know how you can dispose of them?

Wasn't the old passport Navy Blue? I definitely don't remember black! I think there may be a lot of delay in sorting things out - oh Joy! Although once over the channel I can't think border controls will change much they won't want to be sorting Brits
from all the rest will they? I wonder if all those nice Gendarmes at ports sailing for UK will be as thorough with their searches too.0 -

I don't think that whatever happens we shall be stopping at all EU borders. We shall definately stop at the French/UK border and any other ones from the EU to a non Schengen EU counry but all the rest will still have no border controls just like they do now.
There will be no requirement to remove the EU part of the registration plates I think, only rules about what you must display, which will remain a GB sticker as it always has been. The EU plates were only a dispensation for EU member countries. My passport had always been black until the latest version. Regards, Roy

Just buy two
of these for £1.49 and stick them over the top of whatever you have now.We shall stick with our EU sticker, until we receive instructions to the contrary! I imagine this is very low on the list of priorities for the next couple of years.

Is it not against regulations to stick anything on a number plate?

But then the number plate would not be the correct size! Best to just leave them as they are.

Well it may be but we've got away with ours for at least three years. Our car was bought new, but 'Pre-registered' so it had plates on without any country identifier but as we travel in Europe we wanted a GB sticker. We bought these adhesive ones, and
now they just look like the plates which have the EU symbol 'built in'. You would never know that they were stuck on afterwards.0 -

True, as I said in my earlier post today:

Look on the positive side...if you have to buy new plates you will be keeping someone in a job (hopefully in GB) and if we need new passports you will be providing revenue to the government to help fund the financial markets/banks!

Write your comments here...David when the time comes and if we need to change passport from Eu to UK i guess we will have to pay, unless they decide that the EU passport will be valid until it expires.

Annoyingly, the dealer that put a number plate on the back of my new caravan on Wed morning, put a plate on with the Euro stars ...... I've shunned them on all cars I've had. I live in England/Britain ...... not Europe
Go on the web and look at Fancyplates to select the kind of plate you want to see on your van
