The Legal Bits

Prior to us being able to print and forward your new plates, proper identification and valid DVLA paperwork are required in order to purchase number plates within the United Kingdom. This UK law is designed to stop the practice of auto cloning. However, the process of presenting the right ID and documentation is actually a simple and straightforward process and completing it quickly should not be a problem. To assist you with getting your plates in a timely fashion, we will begin to manufacture your new plates as soon as your payment is processed.

In order to comply with UK laws, you’ll need to send crisp pictures of your ID and DVLA-approved documentation to our company preferably via electronic mail, using the form we have supplied, (however there is an address on the order form page for you to post the relevant information to us).

For full details of what is considered to be a valid verification document, please see below.

IMPORTANT - Verification Requirements.
