As a DVLA registered number plate supplier, we are legally obligated to check that our customers are entitled to the registration they are asking us to manufacture. These checks help reduce car cloning and related crimes.

For more detailed information from the British Government, please see the INF136 and INF195/2.

Under normal circumstances, we need to see original documents to record the reference numbers. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic we are unable to accept documents via the post, as our staff are working from home until further notice and do not have the professional facilities required to handle these sensitive documents.

Instead we are asking our customers to use this secure page to provide the reference numbers of the documents that prove name & address, and entitlement to the registration.

You can use the following to confirm your name and address:

1. driving licence, with or without a photo (doesn’t have to be issued in the UK)
2. utility bill, Council Tax or rates bill in Northern Ireland (from the last 6 months)
3. bank or building society statement (from the last 6 months)
4. national identity card (issued by the government of a state or territory other than the United Kingdom)

You can use the following to confirm your entitlement to the registration:

1. vehicle registration certificate (V5C)
2. new keeper slip (green slip)
3. a certificate of entitlement (V750) to the number
4. a retention document (V778)
5. a renewal reminder for vehicle tax or SORN (V11)
6. a temporary registration certificate (V379)
7. a number plate authorisation certificate (V948) with an official stamp from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
8. an electronic number plate authorisation certificate (eV948) or an electronic trailer number plate authorisation certificate (eV948/2)
9. UK trailer registration certificate (VTRC)
