4D RETRO BEVEL SHORT PLATES

Required Document Information

Acceptable Documents:

To legally supply number plates we are required to see the original documents that:

• prove your name and address
• show you're allowed to use the registration number

Please provide a document from both Part 1 and Part 2 below:

Part 1: Identity Documents

You can use the following to confirm 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 following will confirm your name only:

• 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

The law permits purchasing number plates as gifts, thus the ID document does NOT need to match the registration entitlement documentation.

Part 2: Proving You Can Use the Registration Number

You must bring one of the following to show you're allowed to display the registration number:

• vehicle registration certificate (V5C or V5CNI)
• green 'new keeper' slip from the V5C or V5CNI
• certificate of entitlement (V750 or V750NI) to the number
• retention document (V778)
• a renewal reminder for vehicle tax or SORN (V11 or V11NI)
• temporary registration certificate (V379 or V379NI)
• a number plate authorisation certificate (V948) with an official stamp from the DVLA
• an electronic number plate authorisation certificate (eV948 or eV948/2)
• a letter of authorisation from a fleet operator (including lease or hire company) quoting the document reference number from the registration certificate
• if your fleet is in the new V5C on demand scheme (also called 'V5C suppression'), a PDF of the vehicle's details from the view vehicle record service
• UK trailer registration certificate (VTRC)
