What Our Customers Say
Build Your DVLA-Registered Replacement Number Plates
Use our Number Plate Builder to design and order road-legal UK plates in under 90 seconds. Pick from Standard 2D, 3D Gel, 4D laser-cut or 4D Gel. Every plate is BS AU 145e certified and carries our DVLA-registered supplier marking. From £6.99.
How the builder works
- Choose your style — Standard 2D, 3D Gel, 4D laser-cut, or 4D Gel
- Enter your registration — we use the standard Charles Wright 2001 font with correct legal spacing
- Pick front, rear or pair — most cars need a pair (white front, yellow rear)
- Choose plate size — standard oblong (520×111mm), square (4×4 / classic), motorcycle, or van
- Add fixings — free sticky pads included, or upgrade to screws and caps
- Upload your documents — V5C and photo ID, photographed on your phone
- Pay securely — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna
The whole process takes 60-90 seconds.
What documents you need
UK law requires every plate supplier to verify your identity and your right to display the registration. You need one of each:
Proof of identity
- Driving licence (preferred — fastest verification)
- UK passport
- Recent utility bill (less than 3 months old)
- Bank or credit card statement (less than 3 months old)
Proof of vehicle entitlement
- V5C log book — most owners
- V5C/2 new keeper supplement — if you’ve just bought the car
- V750 certificate of entitlement — for new private plates
- V778 retention document — for plates on retention
How fast we ship
Order before 2PM on a working day and we dispatch the same day with Royal Mail Tracked 24. 98% of UK orders arrive next working day. Republic of Ireland: 3-5 working days.
Common questions
Are these plates legal for road use and MOT?
Yes. Every plate we make complies with BS AU 145e, carries our DVLA RNPS marking, and uses the mandatory Charles Wright 2001 font. Full legality guide here.
What if I don’t have a V5C?
Use the V5C/2 new keeper supplement. If neither is available (e.g. you’ve just imported the vehicle), contact us at carplatespro.uk@gmail.com — we may be able to accept alternative documentation depending on your circumstances.
Can I get a show plate without ID?
No. UK law requires every plate (including show plates) to be supplied through a DVLA-registered process with full ID verification. Sites that ship show plates without ID checks are operating illegally.
What’s the difference between the styles?
Standard is flat printed (cheapest, road-legal). 3D Gel adds domed glossy characters. 4D laser-cut adds 3mm raised solid acrylic characters. 4D Gel combines 4D depth with 3D gloss. See our full style comparison.
