Why It Matters Who Makes Your Number Plates
In the UK, you can only get number plates made by a DVLA-registered supplier. This ensures that your plates meet strict UK standards for font, spacing, and reflectivity, and display the required supplier details. These requirements are set by law to ensure every legal number plate is roadworthy.
If you buy from an unregistered or non-compliant source, you risk:
- Fines for displaying illegal plates
- MOT failures due to incorrect materials or spacing
- Plates that fade, warp, or discolour quickly
- Refusal to issue plates if you cannot prove your entitlement or identity
At JDM Plates, we’re fully DVLA-registered (RNPS 57790) and manufacture every plate to BS AU 145e standards. Our manufacturing process absolutely guarantees compliance with all legal requirements. That means complete legal compliance and a finish you can rely on.
What You’ll Need to Get Plates Made
When ordering from any legitimate supplier, you must show two things:
- Proof of identity – such as your driving licence, passport, or a recent utility bill showing your current address
- Proof of entitlement to the registration – such as your V5C logbook or V750 certificate
You must present these documents to prove your entitlement, and you will receive a confirmation letter once your order is processed. For example, acceptable proof of address includes a recent bank statement or council tax bill.
At JDM Plates, our online upload system makes this process quick, secure, and stress-free. Once verified, we get straight to work producing your legal, road-ready plates.
How Long Does It Take to Get Number Plates Made?
With JDM Plates, most orders are produced within 24 hours of verification. Delivery typically takes 1–3 working days across the UK, with express options available.
Whether you’re replacing old plates or upgrading to a new style, we’ll make sure your plates arrive quickly and ready to fit.
