• What happens once I have a bought a registration from Cheapnumberplates.co.uk?

  We will send you a Certificate of Entitlement (V750). Keep this safe, as this is the form you will need when you are ready to put your personalised registration mark onto your vehicle.

• What happens if I'm buying a registration as a gift or on behalf of someone else?

  The person for whom the registration has been bought for will be recorded as the nominee. The registration mark will then be able to be put on a vehicle registered in your name or that of the nominee.

• Once I have bought a registration mark, do I have to put it straight onto a vehicle?

  No. You have until the expiry date shown on your V750 to put the mark onto a vehicle.

• How do I get my number plate made up?

  To have your number plate made up you will need to go to a registered supplier taking with you proof of entitlement to the mark. The documents you will need are as follows:
  • Vehicle Registration Document (V5).
  • Certificate of Entitlement to a mark (V750).
  You will also need to provide proof of your personal details which could be :
  • A current photocard driving licence (preferred) or Passport with one of the following :
  • Current paper driving licence.
  • Bank/building society statement or a recent utility bill

• What happens if I buy the registration plate as a gift?

  If you have bought a number as a gift or are having the plates made up for someone else and have no entitlement to the mark then the proof of personal details should be yours. Proof of personal details should be the actual person who is going to have the plates made up.
