Why Drivers Choose Us: MOT-Ready Plates, Verified Securely, Made Responsibly

Why choose private numberplate maker limited for your numberplates

Worried your new plate might fail an MOT? Or that your documents aren’t safe online? You’re not alone. That’s why we’ve built the UK’s most transparent private number plate service - operating from our DVLA-registered workshop with full accountability.

Here’s how we protect you:
  • ✅ Guaranteed MOT Compliance - Every plate meets the BS AU 145e standard - the latest UK regulation for reflectivity, character size, and spacing. No “almost legal” fonts. No risky spacing tricks. Just 100% road-legal plates that pass police and MOT checks.
  • ✅ Secure Document Handling – With Proof - We're one of the few suppliers offering end-to-end encrypted uploads for your V5C or ID. And unlike others, we permanently delete all files after dispatch - so your data never sits on a server.
  • ✅ Verified in Under 60 Minutes – Not Days - While most suppliers take “up to 24 hours,” 98% of our orders are approved within 1 hour. Order by 2pm → same-day dispatch. No delays. No guesswork.
  • ✅ Real Accountability, Not Just a Website - We manufacture every plate in-house. As a DVLA-registered supplier (RNPS ID: 73132) and UK-registered business (No: 16500838), we’re answerable - not anonymous.
  • ✅ Clear Requirements, No Surprises - Confused about what documents you need? We only ask for what the law requires:
    • Proof of identity (driving licence or passport)
    • Proof of entitlement(V5C, V750, or V778)
    → Upload once. Get verified fast. Drive legally tomorrow.

Fast, Legal & Local: Order Online or Collect Same Day from Ilford

Need your number plates today-not tomorrow? While most online suppliers only offer delivery, we give you a real local option: same-day collection from our Ilford workshop at 242 Eastern Ave, IG4 5AB.

How it works:
  1. 1: Design your plate online using our legal builder
  2. 2: Select “Collect from Ilford” at checkout
  3. 3: Order by 2pm → your plates are ready for pickup within 3 hours
  4. 4: Walk in, verify documents, and drive off with MOT-ready, BS AU 145e-compliant plates

We’re one of the only DVLA-compliant plate makers in East London offering this service-no outsourcing, no third-party delays.

Prefer delivery? We still offer free tracked shipping on orders over £15, nationwide.

This isn’t just convenience-it’s peace of mind:

  • Verify in person if you prefer (bring your V5C + ID)
  • Skip delivery wait times -ideal for MOT deadlines or last-minute replacements
  • See quality firsthand before you drive away

And because we're a registered supplier, you’re not dealing with a faceless website-you’re visiting a real workshop where every plate is made on-site.

What Documents Do You Need? Official Requirements for Legal Number Plate Registration

Private Number Plates Documentation: Quick & Secure Verification

Private Number Plate Maker Logo

To comply with UK law (Road Vehicles Regulations 2001), every private number plate order must include proof of identity and entitlement. We don’t cut corners-because your plate’s legality depends on it.

Unlike suppliers who accept blurry photos or skip checks, we verify original, legible documents only-ensuring your plates pass MOT and police inspection.

✔️ Proof of Identity (Choose One)
  • Current UK driving licence (full or provisional)
  • Valid Passport (UK or international)
OR
  • two supporting documents (if no photo ID), one showing your address
    - Utility bill (gas, electricity, water, or landline phone - not mobile)
    - Council tax bill (dated within last 6 months)

❌ Bank statements are not accepted – DVLA guidance excludes them due to fraud risk.

✔️ Proof of Entitlement (One Required – No Substitutes)
  • V5C Logbook (vehicle registration certificate)
  • V778 Retention Certificate
  • V750 Certificate of Entitlement
  • Official Government Letter confirming number plate ownership or retention

❌ Screenshots, photocopies, or emailed V5Cs are not valid. DVLA requires clear, original images of physical documents.

Why Our Verification Is Faster & Safer

  • 98% of orders verified in under 60 minutes – not “up to 24 hours” like others
  • End-to-end encrypted upload – your data never touches unsecured servers
  • All files permanently deleted after dispatch – we don’t store your ID or V5C
  • Verified by our Ilford-based compliance team – real people, not bots
