On
1st of December 2005 the DVLA changed the
documentation required to buy a Number Plate. The
following now applies: In order to obtain a Number
Plate you will have to provide verification of your
current personal details and proof of entitlement to
the registration mark quoted.
At least one original document from each of the
lists below is required. The combination of the
documents must be sufficient to check your name,
address and the entitlement.
Proof of Identity:
- A driving licence, whether or not issued in the
United Kingdom (with or without a photograph).
This is preferred because it is a secure,
government-issued document showing both name and
address.
- A current bill issued by an electricity, gas
or water supplier, a landline telephone bill or
a council tax bill.
- A bank or building society statement.
- A passport (whether issued or not in the
United Kingdom).
- A national identity card issued by the
Government of a state or territory other than
the United Kingdom.
- A debit or credit card issued by a bank or
building society (the requirement for a
photograph no longer applies).
- A police warrant card.
- An armed forces identity card.
Proof of Entitlement:
- The preferred document is a Vehicle Registration
Certificate (V5C).
- The tear - off slip (V5C/2) from V5C (Section
10).
- Certificate of entitlement to a mark (V750).
- Cherished transfer retention document (V778).
- Vehicle licence renewal form (VI 1).
- Temporary registration Certificate (V379).
- Authorisation Certificate (V948) with official
DVLA stamp.
- A letter of authorisation from a fleet operator
(including a lease/hire company). The letter must
quote the document reference number from the V5C.
Quoting the vehicle identification number is no
longer acceptable
