Customizing your ride in Forza Horizon 6, is more than just paint jobs and wheels—it includes personalizing license plates to make your car truly yours. Whether you want a quirky phrase, initials, or a realistic country-style plate, changing your license plate is straightforward once you know the steps.

Quick Step-by-Step Menu Guide

  1. Open the Options Menu
    While driving around, press Escape on PC or the Menu button on your Xbox controller.
  2. Go to Your Garage
    Navigate to the Cars tab and choose to fast travel to your player house or head to the nearest Horizon Festival outpost.
  3. Open License Plate Customization
    Once inside the garage hub, look for the License Plate tile in the top menu and select it.
  4. Edit and Save
    Type your desired letters, numbers, or phrases. Press Accept to save, and the new plate will appear on all your profile vehicles.

This process ensures that all your cars showcase your chosen plate, making your fleet instantly recognizable.

Advanced Plate Design and Removal

  • Full Plate Removal: Prefer a clean look without a plate? Go to the License Plate menu in your garage and press X on Xbox to unequip the plate entirely.
  • Recreating Realistic Layouts: For authentic country-style plates, including designs from past US or UK Horizon festivals, you can use the Forza Livery Editor. This allows custom fonts, codes, and layouts.
  • Using Vinyl Decals: Want to change the plate’s shape or color completely? In the Designs & Paints section of your garage, search the community vinyl groups for terms like “Custom Plate”, then apply the graphic layer directly to the rear bumper of your car.

Tips for Creative License Plates

  • Keep it short and memorable—space is limited.
  • Use numbers or symbols creatively for unique styles.
  • Match your plate with your car’s theme or livery for a cohesive look.
  • Check community designs for inspiration—some players share incredible custom plates that you can import.

Custom plates are a small detail that makes a big difference. Once you’ve personalized your ride, every Horizon festival event and online session becomes a showcase for your creativity.
