Hey all,
I need to get a new rear number plate for a bike carrier. I was told yesterday that I could not get one without my log book/registration documents-is this correct?
I do not have them at the minute (locked in my parents house in N. Ireland and they are on holiday!) so was hoping that showing up with the car in question, my insurance documents and proof of identity would be enough!?
Does anyone know where I stand on this-the whole reason I am looking for a plate is so I can use my rack legally!!!!!!
Cheers
Will
Have a look on ebay, and get some "show" plates, just order ones with the legal font etc.
here's some : [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/QUALITY-SHOWPLATES-car-bike-and-trailer-number-plates_W0QQitemZ250459267996QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item3a5089239c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A1689%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 ]plates[/url]
You need driving licence, passport, mot, insurance certificates, mothers id, v5, receipt for car, all your petrol receipts for the last 10 years & a letter from the queen granting permission.
yep. last time I got my np replaced I needed the log book and some form of photo id (I took my passport).
Legal Number Plates
The law states that,
You must not alter, rearrange or misrepresent the letters or numbers
Characters must not be moved from one group to the other (e.g. A242 ABC must not be displayed as A242A BC).
Offences may result in any or all of the following:
A fine of up to £1,000
The registration mark may be WITHDRAWN
The vehicle may FAIL the MOT test
Full details of the requirements are included in The Road Vehicles (Display of Registration Marks) Regulations 2001
All number plate suppliers will need to see at least one document from each of the lists below. This will allow the number plate supplier to confirm your name, address and entitlement to the registration number. All documents must be original, not copies THIS IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT.
Documents to confirm your identity
One of the following:
driving licence, whether or not issued in the United Kingdom (UK) (with or without a photo) - this is preferred because it’s a secure, government-issued document showing both name and address
a bill issued by your electricity, gas or water supplier, a landline telephone bill, or a council tax bill (current within the last six months) or rates bill (in Northern Ireland only)
a bank or building society statement
a passport, whether or not issued in the UK
a national identity card issued by the government of a state or territory other than the UK
a debit or credit card issued by a bank or building society
a police warrant card
an armed forces identity card
Documents to establish your entitlement to the registration number
One of the following:
vehicle registration certificate (V5C or V5CNI) - these are the preferred documents
the new keeper supplement (V5C/2 or V5C/2NI) of the registration certificate
certificate of entitlement (V750)
retention document (V778) (not applicable in Northern Ireland)
vehicle licence renewal form (V11)
temporary registration certificate (V379) (not applicable in Northern Ireland)
authorisation certificate (V948) with an official stamp from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA), Driver and Vehicle Agency (DVA) or Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA)
a letter of authorisation from a fleet operator (including lease or hire company) (not applicable in Northern Ireland) - the letter must quote the document reference number from the registration certificate, not the vehicle identification number
err that's alarming!
Jane just got me a new set online and the plod have seen them up close and said nowt.
I think you can still get the stick-on numbers at most car accessory shops. Other than that, a piece of cardboard and a felt tip pen.
You must not alter, rearrange or misrepresent the letters or numbers
Characters must not be moved from one group to the other (e.g. A242 ABC must not be displayed as A242A BC).
see both of those ALL the time.
just highlights the driver as a twit imo, along with those Audi LED head light line things and beemer halos.
do you have them?
your a twit if you do.
The motor trade can get them without the V5. Find a backstreet garage and ask them to get you one. Of course you may have to pay a premium if you don't use them, but if you can't get hold of your V5 it is an option.

Daytime running lights you mean? The little lights that have to be fitted to all new cars from 2012 anyway.
So you too will soon look a twit. 😉
