Plaata
Plaata is a design tool for now. Ordering a physical plate from your finished design is the next thing we're building.

In the meantime

  • Design your plate and see it on all nine provinces.
  • Export it as a PNG, or a PDF at true print size.
  • Take the export to your plate maker as-is.

Design it, then see it on your car

Type the registration you already have. Free to play with — no account needed.

That doesn't look like a typical Gauteng registration (AB 12 CD). Worth double-checking — but carry on if it's right.

Text, groups and styling apply to all 9 provinces.

Licence discs

Renew without the queue

Add your car once, tell us when the disc expires, and we'll handle the renewal and get it to your door.

  • We remind you before it expires — no more scrambling in the last week.
  • Upload your documents once; every service afterwards reuses them.
  • Delivered to you, usually within 10 working days.

There's a 21-day grace period after expiry before penalties start. Outstanding fines alone can't block a renewal — only an AARTO enforcement order can.

Traffic fines

Find what's outstanding

Check your fines across the systems we cover, see what they're for, and settle them in one place.

  • One view across AARTO and the municipalities we cover.
  • See what each fine is for before you pay a cent.
  • Link fines to a car to see which one is costing you.

Fines are spread across AARTO and separate municipal systems, so no service can promise a complete picture. We'll always tell you exactly what we checked.

Live preview

Every province, at once

Type your registration once and it lands on all nine provincial templates at the same time — each with its own artwork, ink colour and province code, laid out inside that province's real safe zone. Adjust the weight, spacing or grouping and every plate updates as you type.

Every preview is drawn at the real plate ratio, so what you see is what gets made.

Genuine embossed lettering

Set in FE-Schrift, the same character shapes used on issued plates.

All nine provinces at once

One registration, nine templates — each with its own artwork and code.
