SetVehicleNumberPlateText

FiveM client native documentation with a Lua example.

Summary

Sets the license plate text on a vehicle. Used by car shops, garages, and admin tools to give vehicles custom or owner-linked plates.

Returns

void

Parameters

vehiclenumberThe vehicle handle.
plateTextstringThe plate text (typically up to 8 characters).

Example

local veh = GetVehiclePedIsIn(PlayerPedId(), false)
SetVehicleNumberPlateText(veh, 'VIPER1')

Common pitfalls

  • Plates are limited to 8 characters — longer strings get truncated.
  • On networked vehicles, set the plate on the entity owner or sync it so all clients see the same plate.
