Valid Documents

SENDING US YOUR DOCUMENTS

To legally produce number plates, suppliers require customers to provide original documents that prove their identity and entitlement to the registration.

These documents must be in their original form, NO photocopies and digital copies not being accepted.

Acceptable documents include a V5C Logbook, V750 Certificate, and certain utility bills.

Suppliers must check and record document reference numbers to confirm the customer's identity, address, and entitlement to the registration.

This is in accordance with the laws surrounding the production of number plates, which state that only original documents are acceptable proof.

Our company adheres strictly to the guidelines governing the supply of number plates, prioritizing customer security throughout the ordering process and beyond.

We take measures to prevent vehicle cloning and associated criminal activities by only selling registration numbers to individuals with legitimate access to the necessary documentation.

This commitment to security is unwavering and provides our customers with peace of mind, knowing that their vehicle's identity is protected.
