Australia Number Plate Maker
Australia does not share one passenger serial. A maker page that offers a single “Aussie plate” is guessing. The formats below are the general-issue patterns and the example serials the plate article was on when the notes were taken. Those example serials move. I date them 9 Nov 2026 and I will not pretend they are still the plate on tomorrow’s car.
| State | Format | Colors | Example serial in the notes | Status |

Western Australia first
WA’s general issue in the notes is a leading 1, a J-series letter block, and three digits, written with a dot separator. The transport department home page is the office link. I am not quoting a fee schedule from that home page.
NSW’s black-on-yellow general issue is the odd color in the set. VIC and WA are blue on white. Queensland is maroon on white. If your reference photo is yellow, start with the NSW row before you recolor a Victorian string.
The preview offers an illustrative Australian style. Use the table as a format guide and select the colors for your reference.
Questions
Which state should I open first?
Western Australia. The search demand that earned this page is a WA maker query. NSW, Victoria, and Queensland follow in the same table.
Do you have personalized rules per state?
No. I did not collect each registrar’s slogan limits. The table is general-issue formats and colors only.
