DVLA Documentation Requirements

DVLA Documentation Requirements (Shipping & Collection)

To comply with DVLA and RNPS requirements, two forms of original documentation must be provided before plates can be supplied. We are legally required to retain a copy of these documents for 3 years.

1. If your plates are being shipped

• You must post two forms of ORIGINAL documentation to:
  SJ Plates, 11 Tyler Grove, Dartford, DA1 5HG

• We will securely copy your documents for RNPS records and return your originals in the same parcel as your completed plates, using tracked delivery.

2. If you are collecting

• You must bring two forms of ORIGINAL documentation (identity + entitlement).

• Without valid originals, we cannot release your plates.

DVLA-Approved Proofs of Identity (choose one):

• Driving licence (with a photo)

• Passport

• Utility bill, Council Tax bill, or bank/building society statement (issued within the last 6 months)

• Armed forces identity card

• Police warrant card or an identity card issued by a Government department

DVLA-Approved Proofs of Entitlement to Registration (choose one):

• Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C / logbook)

• New keeper supplement (V5C/2)

• Certificate of Entitlement (V750)

• Retention Document (V778)

• Vehicle tax reminder (V11)

• Temporary registration certificate (V379)

• Authorisation letter from fleet operator (with a copy of the company’s link to the registration)

• Lease/hire agreement (including the registration number)

⚠️ Both one proof of identity and one proof of entitlement are required.

Strict No-Refund Clause (documentation)

• If you fail to provide valid documentation (by post for shipping, or in person for collection) and then cancel, no refund will be issued.

• This is because your order is custom-made and we are required to operate under DVLA/RNPS rules.
