Required Documents

DVLA makes it mandatory for all number plate suppliers to verify two documents:

1. Identification
2. Registration Entitlement

Read more about this requirement on the Government’s website.

Documents we can accept:

Identification

The documentation listed below can be used to verify your name and address:

• Driving Licence
• utility, Council Tax or rates bill from the last 6 months
• Bank or building society statement from the last 6 months
• National Identity Card

The documentation below can only be used to verify your name:

• Passport – does not have to be issued in the UK
• Bank or building society debit or credit card
• Police warrant card
• Armed forces identity card
• By law, you are able to purchase number plates as a gift which means that the ID documentation you provide does not have to match the entitlement document.
