GTA Online: 7 Best Ways To Earn Money Passively

Steam giving away critically-acclaimed 2014 game for free, ghost of tsushima pc players are killing an unkillable boss.

There are countless questions concerning particular mechanics or features in Grand Theft Auto Online , but one, in particular, stands out. With so much monetization, it might be assumed that these plates are for gamers who broke open their real-life wallets.

But this is actually not the case. Gamers can create custom plates in Grand Theft Auto Online without going broke. The process is multi-faceted and not at all intuitive so players can be forgiven for not knowing how. Thankfully, it shouldn't take long and, once gamers understand how, it's a funny little outlet for creativity.

Updated on May 18th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: When this article was originally published it was as a list with each point getting an entire section of explanation. While reading can be fun for some people, the point of this article is to answer a simple question. So instead of a long list with each step broken down, the article has been condensed into a single section with all the steps listed in order at the start. If players have questions about a particular step, then these answers will be in the text just beneath the list. This exposition can be helpful for players who are completely new to the game but the new format should allow established gamers to get the information they need and get to making a new plate as expeditiously as possible.

How To Make A Custom Plate

  • Download the iFruit app
  • Create a Social Club account and connect
  • Tap the 'Plates' tab
  • Select a color, text, and background
  • Finalize by choosing a character to receive the plate
  • Receive in-game confirmation via SMS message
  • Go to Los Santos Customs
  • Choose the custom plate

RELATED: Games To Play If You Love GTA Online

There is an out-of-game and an in-game sequence to get this done. After downloading the iFruit app, players must then connect their devices to their Grand Theft Auto Online Social Club account. The 'Plates' tab allows players to make custom license plates. After drawing one up for one of the coolest vehicles in the game , choose a character to deliver the plate to.

Then the in-game portion begins. Hop online and select the character that received the plate. An SMS message will confirm the customization and direct the gamer to Los Santos Customs. Once there, go to the plate section and select the new custom license plate.

If a player wants multiple plates, maybe one for their incredible vans , they will first need to equip their first license plate to a car before creating a second one.

Grand Theft Auto Online is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

How to use the GTA Online License Plate Creator

The License Plate Creator in GTA Online lets you send personalized plates to Los Santos Customs

GTA Online License Plate Creator

The GTA Online License Plate Creator is the perfect way to put a personal stamp on your favorite rides, by applying a customized vanity plate to show off your identity. These are attached by taking your motor to Los Santos Customs, but first you have to place the order and the process isn't straightforward. When GTA Online originally launched almost a decade ago, you could use the iFruit app on your real life mobile phone to set things up, but once that got discontinued there was not alternative route in place to set up this customization. Finally, that situation has now been resolved by Rockstar, so if you want to display your nickname, a famous registration, or something else entirely on the back of your vehicle, then here's how to use the License Plate Creator in GTA Online.

How to use the License Plate Creator in GTA Online

GTA Online License Plate Creator

Find out what GTA Online new cars are available to add your customized license plate to.

The first thing you need to note if you want to use the GTA Online License Plate Creator is that you have to be active in an online session before it will work, otherwise you'll get an error message telling you to enter a session before placing your order. Secondly, it isn't available through the game itself, so you'll need to visit the official Rockstar website separately via the browser on your mobile phone or computer to access it. Once you've logged into your Social Club account and completed any necessary profile linking, these are the steps to take for setting up your plate:

  • Click the NEW ORDER + button on the blank license plate
  • Enter your text of up to 8 alphanumeric characters – an offensive language filter is applied to this, but note that it you get an offensive word or phrase through that is later reported your account could be sanctioned
  • Select one of the five available backgrounds
  • You can switch to Car View with the button in the bottom right corner, then click-drag to see how the license plate looks from different angles
  • When you're happy, click Next in the bottom left
  • Select a recent personal vehicle from the drop-down list – make sure you click on the main body of the box as the arrow doesn't seem to respond
  • Click Place Your Order in the bottom right

If everything has gone through correctly you'll be told your order is processing – should you receive an error message, make sure you're in a current online session then reload the Creator and repeat the process. I recommend sending your GTA Online License Plate to the personal vehicle you're currently using, as I had issues getting the order to deliver after switching to a different car.

Back in the game itself, you'll shortly receive a text message from Los Santos Customs telling you to drop by with your specified vehicle to have your order fulfilled. Head to the nearest mod shop and, after applying any necessary repairs, you'll be presented with the option to Process App Order for free. Select this, and your vehicle will roll out with its shiny new GTA Online License Plate installed. Once this initial order delivery is made, you can add this plate to any of your vehicles and change its appearance by visiting Los Santos Customs.

GTA 5 Online: How to Make Custom License Plates

Image of Serhii Patskan

When iFruit App got axed from  GTA Online ‘s list of companion applications last year, GTA players could no longer customize their vehicles and apply new license plates to their cars and vehicles. But with the “Shake Up and Top Marks” week event, Rockstar Games brought back the license plate feature in the form of a new License Plate Creator . We’ll tell you everything about it in our guide below!

How to Make Custom License Plates in GTA 5 Online

The best part about the new License Plate Creator is that it’s completely free, and you don’t have to abandon your old license plates created in iFruit App. You can actually view and use them in the new application or simply create new license plates from scratch.

You can go ahead and create your first license plate in the License Plate Creator by following these steps:

  • Go to the official License Plate Creator webpage.
  • Sign in using your Rockstar Games Social Club credentials.
  • Press “ Create New Plate ” button.
  • Enter your text on the plate and select background in the left menu.
  • Once that is done, press the “ Next ” button.
  • Select a vehicle from the new menu.
  • Confirm by pressing “ Place Order ” button.

Once this is done, you need to accept the new plate order in GTA Online . Here’s what you need to do:

  • Start GTA Online using your Social Club account.
  • Wait a few moments before a message arrives in your account , stating that you can pick up your order at Los Santos Customs.
  • Take a vehicle that you’ve chosen before in the License Plate Creator, and drive it to the Los Santos Customs.
  • Once you arrive, open the Customs Shop’s menu .
  • Press “ Process Order ” button to apply a new license plate to your vehicle.

If you did everything right, your car should have the newly created license plate. In case you’re not happy with the chosen vehicle and you wish to pick another car with the same license plate, then you need to follow these steps:

  • Drive any other car to the Los Santos Customs after you’ve received the message regarding your new license plate.
  • Select “ Customization ” menu.
  • Go to “ Plates ” tab.
  • Click on the plate you’ve created in the License Plate Creator.

When that’s done, you’ll see that your new license plate has been applied to another car in a similar fashion. You can repeat this trick with any other vehicle of yours as many times as you want.

Note that just like iFruit App in the past, the License Plate Creator lets you create no more than 30 plate numbers per account . If you decide to make new plates, then you have to delete some of the old ones to make room. You can also cancel your pending orders by doing the following:

  • Go to official License Plate Creator webpage.
  • Go to “ Order in Progress ” section.
  • You can either press “ Cancel ” to delete the order, or “ Edit ” to change it.
  • Confirm by pressing “ Yes, Cancel ,” if you wish to cancel, or “ Process Order ,” if you want to continue with the edited plate.

That’s everything you need to know on how to make custom license plates in GTA 5 Online , and stay tuned for more GTA Online tips and tricks articles right here.

Players can create their own custom License Plates in GTA Online , and doing so requires a few extra steps. GTA Online continues to go strong after its debut back on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Current generation ports of the game are in development to release later this November for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. One of the smaller quality-of-life improvements is the ability for players to create custom license plates for their vehicles. Similar to how players can change the look of their GTA Online cars and avatars , license plates allow for an extra layer of customization.

It's important to mention that players will need either an iOS and Android device in order to access the Apple Store or Google Play Store. Players are not able to create a custom License Plate natively within the game. Head to these storefronts and search for "iFruit," the GTA Online  companion app. The logo itself is a parody of the Apple logo and is labeled "Grand Fruit Auto". After that, there are only a few steps left to get a custom license plate in-game.

How To Create Custom License Plates in GTA Online

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create a Custom License Plate in GTA Online.

  • Step 1: Download the iFruit app on iOS and Android.
  • Step 2: Sign in to the app using the social club account from either their PC or console. It will need to be the same account for the plate to make an appearance.
  • Step 3: Head over to the LS Customs app within the iFruit app. This is where players will be able to make their own License Plates.
  • Step 4: At the bottom, players can head over to the Garage tab on the bottom-right side of the screen.
  • Step 5: Create the Custom Plate.
  • Step 6: Load up the game and head over to LS Customs .
  • Step 7: Head to the plate section of LS Customs and select the new custom one.
  • Step 8: The player now has their own custom-made plate in GTA Online.

With new players joining GTA Online every day, it makes sense why everyone wouldn't know to download an external app to make this possible. Hopefully, Rockstar Games can introduce a way to build one natively in the game.

How to use the new GTA Online License Plate Creator and what features it has

Aaron Trueman

A new GTA Online license plate creator has been released today by Rockstar Games. We will show you how to use it and share what features it has. This newly released service comes just a week after being announced.

Players of GTA Online have been asking Rockstar for a new and improved license plate creator for quite some time. The iFruit mobile app was the only way to come up with your own custom plates and it became broken. It also did not work with the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S version of GTA V which many people have since switched to or started playing. Thankfully, these issues come to an end from today.

Making a custom plate isn't that complicated.

There are numerous easy ways for players to customize their vehicles in GTA Online ; however, most players don't know that they can also put custom license plates on their cars in GTA Online .

Grand Theft Auto 5 offers players various vehicles, and the options are even endless in the game's massive online version. However, Rockstar knew that wasn't enough for players; that's why the devs introduced even more amazing cars in the latest Los Santos Tuner update.

So, if you've bought a new vehicle after the update and want to flex it with a custom license plate, we've got you covered.

LicensePlateCreator-GTAOe-AnnouncementImage

The License Plate Creator is a browser-based companion tool for Grand Theft Auto Online that allows players to create customized license plates for their Personal Vehicles , released alongside the Shake Up and Top Marks Week event on April 20th, 2023.

Background [ ]

After the shutdown and delisting of the IFruit App by Rockstar Games on December 12th 2022, Rockstar promised a new method for players to create customized license plates since the LS Customs app within it would no longer be accessible. With the Boor Week event on April 13 2023, Rockstar announced that the License Plate Creator would be released the following week.

Description [ ]

The Creator can be accessed through all desktop and mobile browsers and allows players to create up to 30 customized plates that can be ordered for pickup at any Los Santos Customs in-game. Beeker's Garage counts as a valid LS Customs branch, as do player-owned vehicle workshops, such as the Office Mechanic , LS Car Meet , and any Auto Shops .

All accounts that complete the Online Tutorial are automatically gifted a randomized custom plate that is available to all characters on that account and this will be seen as plate 1. If a player had previously used the iFruit App to create plates, then the first one they created (for free at the time) will appear as their gifted plate.

All other previous plates created through the iFruit App are automatically synced with the Plate Creator and are available across platforms.

Players may select a previously created plate to view every vehicle with the selected plate applied.

The "gifted" plate will not be able to be deleted [1] from the plate viewer screen, however all other plates, whether previously created through the iFruit App or through the Plate Creator can be. Similarly, deleting a plate won't affect any of the vehicles that were currently using it, but there won't be any tracking of what cars were using the same.

When creating a new plate, the player is prompted with a text box and several plate background types. The player will be charged for a non-standard plate background. The player may view their newly created plates in "Plate View" or in "Car View", in which the plate is applied to the rear of a Bravado Banshee as a visual example. Unlike the iFruit App, spaces within the written text are treated as valid characters. Note that the texts with odd characters are centered on the license plate as seen on the website, despite they are still being aligned to the left in-game. Additionally, certain expletives and phrases are not allowed, including in-game vehicle brands (such as Declasse or Karin ) or real-life brands (such as Nintendo or Rockstar ) [2] .

After creating the plate, player can choose to fulfill their order on one of their 10 most recent vehicles used in-game, similar to the iFruit App previously. Recently used vehicles may take a long period of time to appear in the list for an order, and Arena War vehicles may not appear at all, even those that are eligible to enter LS Customs [ citation/verification needed ] . Players can also fulfill their order to vehicles that do not have the option to switch plates (i.e. Zhaba ), as long as there is a plate assigned to the model themselves [ citation/verification needed ] .

The player is warned to enter a GTA Online session before placing the order.

After sending an order request, the player receives a text message from Los Santos Customs notifying them about their order waiting to be fulfilled.

If the player is not in game at the time the order is placed, it will not go through and will not be available when the player enters the game. If this happens, the player can simply edit their order to re-trigger it.

The player may enter any modification shop and fulfill their app orders. The plate will then enter the list of plate options that may be used for free on any other vehicle.

  • Coloured headlights may revert to stock after redeeming a plate order.
  • Entering another player's Auto Shop with an active plater order and rejecting the application of the order may result in a looped sequence of the vehicle re-entering the customization bay, instead of exiting the Auto Shop. The owner can enter and exit selecting "All exit Auto Shop" to force the looping player out.

How to Make Custom Plates in GTA Online

How to Make Custom Plates GTA Online

To make your own custom plates, you will need to simply follow the steps given below. These will be in two parts, first on the iFruit app and then on the GTA game itself.

How to Customize Plates on The iFruit App

Here is what you need to do in order to customize the iFruit app.

  • Download the iFruit app by Rockstar Games from the Apple Store or Google Play Store
  • Connect your devices to the Grand Theft Auto Online Social Club account
  • Go to Los Santos Customs
  • Here, you will find four tabs – Garage, Customize, Plates, and Home
  • Go to the Plates tab to make custom license plates
  • Create a custom license plate by playing with the color, text, and background
  • Choose which character gets to have the custom license plate
  • Confirm your selection
  • Restart GTA Online
  • You will now receive an in-game confirmation through an SMS

If this is your first time customizing plates then this first plate is free . However, if this is not then for every plate that you make after the first, you will have to pay 100,000$ .

If you haven’t got the in-game confirmation then check the following to see if the following have been done correctly:

  • Are you using the correct Social Club account?
  • Have you chosen the correct character?

If both of these are correct, restart the game and check to see if it was just a glitch. Now, if the SMS has still not appeared then redo the license plate process. And if all else fails, contact Rockstar Games to see if they can fix the issue.

How to Equip Custom Plates in GTA Online

Now that you have the prerequisites to customizing your plates, you can follow these steps to get the same and attach it to your vehicle.

  • Wait for the load time of the game
  • Now, go to an online lobby
  • Call the mechanic
  • Get the car that you want to put the license plate on
  • Now, drive your car over to Los Santos Customs
  • Go to the plate section and select the new custom license plate

And done, you can now cruise around and show other players your sweet new ride. Keep in mind that you can’t equip two plates at the same time . And so, you will need to make and equip the first one before you go to create the second one.

Customization options are an excellent option for game developers to give their playerbase. It helps make whatever aspect of the game you are adjusting feel more like it represents you. It doesn’t necessarily change the game but helps you feel more in control of the things going on. Grand Theft Auto Online has its character creation process and vehicle customization at the Los Santos Customs workshop. You can go a step further with setting a unique personalized license plate for your vehicles if you want it. Here is how to get custom plates in Grand Theft Auto Online.

To make a custom license plate in Grand Theft Auto Online, you first need to download the Grand Theft Auto: iFruit app from either the Google Play Store or Apple Store. This app is old and tends to crash. Unfortunately, it is required to get a custom license plate, so keep attempting to open it and hope it works if you really want the new plate.

When you get the app working, be sure to link the same account you play with on Grand Theft Auto Online. If you input a different account, this process will not work. When connected, open the Los Santos Customs app.

When you get into the app, click Plates at the bottom of the screen. You can now customize your plates with different colors and put a name or phrase up to eight characters to display for anyone who looks.

Now head into Grand Theft Auto Online. When loaded in, call your mechanic and deliver the car you want to put the license plate on. Get in it and drive to the nearest Los Santos Customs building. The icon for them on the map is the spray paint bottle.

Inside the shop, you will need to pay to repair your car if it took any damage on the way over. After that, select Plate, and at the bottom will be a free plate that you can equip with the customized plate you made in the iFruit app. If it doesn’t say what you wanted it to, try the process again.
