The Honda Civic requires M8 X 1.25-inch screws for the license plate. This specifies the thread size (M8) and the length of the screw (1.25 inches). If you add a license plate bracket, you may need longer screws to accommodate the extra thickness. It is advisable to use thread glue or locker when installing your license plate screws to prevent them from loosening while driving and deter theft of your license plate. Opting for screws with a Torx head can also make it more difficult for someone to remove your license plate.

Alex provided the screw size, but there was a mistake in the explanation. When we say "M8x1.25," the "M8" indicates an 8mm diameter, not the pitch, and the "1.25" refers to the thread pitch, which is the space between each thread peak, not the length of the screw. For example, if you have a screw labeled as "M8x1.25x30," it means it is a 30mm long screw with an 8mm diameter and a 1.25mm pitch.
