Forza Horizon 6 gives you a surprising amount of control over how your cars look and feel. One of the smaller but satisfying touches (check out cool easter eggs) is the ability to put a custom license plate on your car. The option is buried far enough in the menus (all icons and symbols) that plenty of players simply never come across it. If you want to swap out the default plate, this guide will help you change your car's license plate in Forza Horizon 6.

Where to Find the License Plate Option in Forza Horizon 6

The license plate customisation is tied to the garage, which means you need to be at either the Player house or the Forza Horizon Festival site before you can access it. Both locations work equally well. The garage becomes available after completing the opening races at the start of the game, so it should be accessible to everyone within the first hour or so of playing.

It is worth knowing that you cannot change your license plate from the pause menu or the map screen. You specifically need to be inside a garage (garage customization guide) for the option to appear, which is probably why so many players miss it entirely.

How to Change Your License Plate in Forza Horizon 6

Once you are inside a garage, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Cars tab from the garage menu
  2. Scroll down and select License Plates
  3. Use the input field to type your custom plate using letters, numbers, or special characters
  4. Confirm your choice to apply it to your car

The customisation options are reasonably generous. You can use a combination of letters and numbers, which gives you enough flexibility to create something that feels personal rather than generic. That's pretty much everything you need to know about how to change your license plate in Forza Horizon 6. For more such guides, check out our Forza Horizon 6 wiki.
