WHY DO PLATEPLUS DO THESE CHECKS
As a DVLA registered number plate suppler, it is our responsibility to check your legal entitlement to the registration you are asking us to manufacture. These checks help reduce car cloning and related crimes.
For more detailed information from the British Government, please see the INF136 and INF195/2.
This page allows you to securely provide 2 document reference numbers that prove your name & address, as well as your entitlement to the registration you’re asking us to manufacture.
These reference numbers must be traceable to you (the consumer) and can be obtained from us by the police, the DVLA or the DVSA without notice at any time for any reason. We are required by law to collect this information from you.
