What Documents Do You Need To Buy Number Plates In The UK?

If you need replacement number plates, one of the most common questions is: "What documents do I need to buy number plates?"

In the UK, number plate suppliers are legally required to check both your identity and your entitlement to use the registration number before manufacturing road legal number plates. While this may seem like an extra step, it's designed to help prevent fraud, cloned plates and vehicle crime.

Proof Of Identity

When ordering road legal number plates, you'll need to provide proof of identity. Commonly accepted documents include:

• Driving licence

• Passport

• Utility bill

• Bank statement

• Council tax bill

These documents help confirm your identity before your plates can be produced.

Proof Of Entitlement

You'll also need to prove that you're entitled to display the registration number. Accepted documents include:

• V5C logbook

• New keeper slip (V5C/2)

• Certificate of entitlement (V750)

• Retention document (V778)

Without proof of entitlement, road legal number plates cannot be supplied.
