Are Stealth Plates Legal?

If you're considering buying a Stealth Plate, also known as a vanish plate or privacy license plate cover, you're probably asking the big question — are stealth plates legal?

Short Answer: Yes — It's Legal to Buy and Sell Stealth Plates

Stealth Plates are completely legal to buy, sell, and own in Canada, the U.S., and many other regions. At StealthPlates.ca, we sell our blackout plate systems strictly for off-road use, car shows, track days, private collections, and motorcycle events.

Think of Stealth Plates like aftermarket LED lights or performance mods — they’re made for enthusiasts, but how you use them determines whether it’s legal or not.

When Can Stealth Plates Become Illegal?

Using a Stealth Plate on public roads to hide your license plate from speed cameras, toll booths, police, or parking enforcement may break local traffic or obstruction laws. Just like window tints or radar detectors, stealth plates fall into a legal gray area depending on where and how they’re used.

Illegal uses may include:

• Activating the plate while driving on public streets
• Blocking your plate to avoid tolls or photo radar
• Interfering with law enforcement visibility

Always check your local laws before using a Stealth Plate outside of private property or events.

Know the Law — Use with Responsibility

Stealth Plates are designed for display and protection, not for evading law enforcement. We make it clear that our products are for show use only and not intended to break any road laws.

If you’re a car enthusiast, bike builder, or show car owner, a Stealth Plate adds that next-level privacy and style while keeping you safe — as long as you use it responsibly.
