GTA Online players will want to click on the "NEW ORDER" button. Upon doing so, you will get an option to enter some text up to eight characters. Gamers cannot enter inappropriate text here, lest their license plate get automatically rejected. After the text portion gets approved, select any background you like. There are only a few options, so this step shouldn't take long.

Remember that some names might be reserved by somebody else, so you may need to enter something different. Once you have the right combo, ensure to continue your order to see a screen similar to the following photo.

Only the most recent vehicles you drove would be eligible for this order. GTA Online players can check which options are available under the "Select a Vehicle" drop-down menu on the right side. Assuming you're happy with your decision, click "PLACE YOUR ORDER" on the bottom right.

The next step is to visit Los Santos Customs with your chosen vehicle.

The first thing GTA Online players will see is a Process Order option. Select it to claim whatever you made via the License Plate Creator. You can repeat the process for other customized license plates if you wish. Some players may need to cancel an order and re-do the previous steps if their delivery gets bugged.

Note that you cannot delete gifted plates, even though they take up one of the 30 slots. If you wish to make something new and are currently full, head back to the website and delete one of the plates you can do without.

Hopefully, this guide was helpful for people who just got Grand Theft Auto 5 and wanted to check out its multiplayer game mode. GTA Online's License Plate Creator is easy to use, so it shouldn't take too long to get used to it.
