Replacement Number Plates

What documents do I need?

To get your number plates made you’ll need to bring the right documents. The law states that you must provide current proof of identity (of the purchaser) and proof of entitlement to the registration mark quoted in order to get replacement number plates.
If you reserve your plates online, they can’t be made until your documents have been checked and verified in store.

The following documents are acceptable by the DVLA. At least one original document from each list below is required; allowing us to check your name, address and vehicle entitlement.

We only accept the following documents:

1. Proof of Identity (of the purchaser):

• Driving licence with photograph – preferred
• Bank/Building Society statement issued within the last six months
• Current utility, telephone or Council Tax bill issued within the last six months
• Passport
• National ID card issued by the Government of a state of territory other than the UK
• Debit or credit card issued by a bank or building society
• Police warrant card
• Armed forces identity card

Remember – whichever Proof of Identity document you bring needs to show your name and address!

2. Proof of Entitlement:

• A Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C) – preferred. (Please be aware only the new red V5C Certificates are accepted, and not the old blue V5 Certificates)
• The tear-off slip (V5C/2) from (V5C section 10)
• A Certificate of entitlement to a mark (V750)
• A Cherished Transfer Retention Certificate (V778)
• A Vehicle Licence Renewal (V11)
• A Temporary Registration Certificate (V379)
• An Authorisation Certificate (V948) from DVLA Local Office with official DVLA stamp, or a downloaded hard copy of the eV948.
• A letter of authorisation from Fleet Operators (including a lease/hire company). The letter must quote the document reference number from the V5C

Please note: These are legal guidelines imposed by the DVLA, and sadly we can’t provide you with new or replacement registration plates without the correct documents
