There’s more than one type of number plate legally displayed on vehicles, and compatible with Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) rules.
The original DVLA number plates were dateless – beginning with the famous A1 mark in London in 1903. These registrations were initially issued by county councils.
In 2003, the DVLA brought in legislation which meant anyone supplying DVLA number plates had to be registered with them.
DVLA number plates must be spaced correctly and bear the name and postcode of their registered supplier. It is against the law to supply number plates which are mis-spaced, misrepresented, or have non-standard fonts or non-compliant flag badges.
Unfortunately, there’s also more than one reason why people buy DVLA number plates. Unfortunate because theft of number plates has soared. Rising fuel prices have also meant an increase in number plate theft for use in garage forecourt theft.
At Platinum Plates, we are always happy to supply DVLA number plates whether you are buying a personalised number plate because you want to make your vehicle truly original, or if you need a replacement set because yours has been damaged or stolen.
We’re members of the Institute of Registration Agents and Dealers and of course fully licensed to supply DVLA number plates. We believe in good customer service, too, and willing to spend time answering any questions you may have.
