Legal requirement
To legally produce your number plates we’re required to verify your identity and entitlement to the registration. Here’s everything you need to know about which documents we accept.
The ID document you submit does not need to match the name on the entitlement document. This allows number plates to be purchased as gifts — for example, you can provide your own ID while the entitlement is in someone else’s name.
A document confirming your name and address. Bills and statements must be dated within the last 6 months; a driving licence or identity card must be in date.
A document proving your entitlement to the vehicle registration.

We verify on arrival and return your originals securely
Applies to all digital submissions — upload or email. A minute of checking here saves a day on your order.
A blurry photo is the most common reason we have to ask for a resubmit. Take a second look before sending — every number and letter needs to be readable.
Step back a little so all four corners are visible. If any part of the document is cut off we can’t accept it.
We need to see the document in colour — black and white photos or photocopies aren’t accepted, even if the text is readable.
Lay the document flat on a table and use natural light if you can. Flash tends to wash out the text — turn it off if your phone gives you the option.
Just the front is fine — everything we need is on there.
Send us the front page as a minimum. The document reference number at the top needs to be clearly visible.
If anything looks unclear, covered, or tampered with we’ll have to ask you to send it again — which holds up your order. It only takes a minute to check before you submit.
If you have any questions about which documents to provide, we’re happy to assist. Get in touch and we’ll reply usually within 2 hours during opening hours, always within 1 working day.
