Australia is letting drivers add an emoji to their official government issued licence plates.

Drivers in the state of Queensland are able to add one of five emoji to the end of their usual state issued licence plate numbers from March 1.

People can choose "laughing out loud," "winking face," "cool sunglasses," "heart eyes," and "smiley face" emojis.

These new plates will still have the three-letter and two-number combination required by law, with the emoji coming next.

The price for the plates has not yet been announced on the government's website, but are estimated to be between R1,160 and R5,000, Daily Mail Australia reported

Not everyone is happy with the development.

Bill Potts, president of the Queensland Law Society, criticised the move in an interview with the Brisbane Times, saying that "clearly the government is trying to sex up number plates."

"But the purpose of number plates is for the police to be able to identify vehicles."

"How do you write down the emoji in your number plate after an accident?
