The Saltire is an optional printed flag for number plates made by us: the white diagonal cross of St Andrew on a blue ground, the national flag of Scotland. It prints on the left edge of the plate face and can be added to any plate style we make, whether printed, 3D gel or one of our 4D styles. It is the flag flown across Scotland and by Scottish supporters, and drivers choose it to mark the car as Scottish.

Fits

Any car, van or motorbike plate we make, in any style, except our hex plates, which have no space for a flag. The Saltire is printed onto the plate as part of the reflective face when we make it. For a British marking instead, see the Union Flag.

The left of a UK number plate may carry a national flag, and the Saltire qualifies. That is a UK rule only: a flag on the plate does not by itself meet another country's requirements. If you take the car abroad, check the rules where you are driving. It replaces nothing the law requires on the plate.

Do I need a UK sticker abroad with this flag?

GOV.UK says a number plate with the national flag of Scotland requires a UK sticker when driving abroad. You do not need one in Ireland. The flag does not by itself make the plate legal abroad; check the requirements of the countries you will drive through. The rules are on GOV.UK's page about flags, identifiers and stickers.
