GB CAR STICKER REQUIRED FOR DRIVING IN THE SOUTH OF IRELAND

The government has stated that after Brexit all UK registered cars will need to display a GB sticker whilst driving in the South of Ireland. The advice applies to cars registered in all parts of the UK, including Northern Ireland.

The white oval sticker containing the letters GB must be displayed at the rear of your vehicle.

The rule will apply to all drivers even if your number plate includes a GB logo.

Not displaying a GB sticker will not invalidate your motor insurance but motorists are urged to comply with relevant requirements.

The Department for Infrastructure said the requirement that all UK motorists driving in the Republic of Ireland should display a GB sticker stems from the 1949 Geneva Convention on Road Traffic.

The GB stickers are available to purchase online and are easily applied to the rear of your vehicle.
