Replacement Numberplates

Yes. Chase Lane Plates is a DVLA-registered number plate supplier, which means we are legally authorised to manufacture and supply replacement number plates in the UK. As a registered number plate supplier, we follow all DVLA rules and UK laws when producing legal number plates for cars, motorbikes and other vehicle types.

This means every replacement number plate we supply is produced in line with current legal requirements, including:

• Correct legal spacing
• Approved black characters
• Reflective materials
• British Standard compliance
• Supplier name and postcode markings
• Registration marks that meet DVLA rules

Ordering from a DVLA-approved number plate supplier is important because only registered suppliers can legally make replacement registration plates for road use. This ensures your replacement plates are compliant, road legal and suitable for display on UK roads.

When you order from Chase Lane Plates, you can be confident your replacement number plates are manufactured to legal standards and supplied by a registered, compliant provider.

To order a replacement number plate legally in the UK, you must provide documents to prove both your identity and your entitlement to display the registration number. This is a legal requirement for all registered number plate suppliers and applies to all replacement plates, including replacement reg plates, car number plates, motorbike number plates and personalised number plates.

You will need:

• One proof of identity document
• One proof of entitlement document

These checks are required by law before we can manufacture your replacement registration plates.

You must provide one document to confirm your identity. Accepted documents usually include:

• Driving licence
• Passport
• Utility bill (dated within the last six months)
• Bank statement
• Council tax bill

These documents confirm who you are and help us comply with UK laws relating to legal number plates.

You must also provide one document showing that you are entitled to display the registration number. Accepted documents include:

• Vehicle registration certificate (V5C)
• New keeper supplement (V5C/2)
• Certificate of entitlement (V750)
• Retention document (V778)
• DVLA authorisation letter

These documents prove that the registration number belongs to you or that you have the legal right to display it on your vehicle.

Without valid proof of identity and proof of entitlement, we cannot legally complete your replacement number plate order. This process protects customers, helps prevent plate misuse and ensures all replacement plates are supplied in line with DVLA and legal requirements.

Yes, you can order replacement number plates online quickly and easily using our online number plate builder. This allows you to create replacement plates for your vehicle from the comfort of your home, whether you need a single replacement number plate, a full front and rear set, replacement reg plates for a private registration or new plates for a recently purchased vehicle.

Ordering online is one of the easiest ways to replace damaged, cracked, faded or worn number plates without visiting a physical supplier. Simply enter your registration number, choose your plate size and style, select any optional extras such as badges or borders, and upload your documents for approval.

As a registered number plate supplier, we are legally required to check proof of identity and proof of entitlement before completing your order. Once approved, your replacement number plates are manufactured to UK legal standards and dispatched quickly.

Yes, in some cases you can still order replacement plates without a V5C. While the vehicle registration certificate (V5C) is the most common document used to prove entitlement, it is not the only accepted option.

If you do not have your V5C, you may still be able to order replacement number plates using one of the following documents:

• V750 certificate of entitlement
• V778 retention document
• New keeper supplement (V5C/2)
• DVLA authorisation letter

These documents can be used to prove that you are legally entitled to display the registration number. This is especially useful for customers who are waiting for updated DVLA paperwork, transferring a private registration or replacing plates before receiving a full V5C.

As long as valid proof of entitlement is provided, replacement reg plates can usually still be supplied.

Yes, replacement number plates are completely legal provided they comply with current UK laws and DVLA regulations. Replacement number plates must be manufactured to the same legal standard as any new registration plate used on UK roads.

To be road legal, replacement plates must include:

• Correct legal spacing
• Approved black characters
• Reflective white front plate
• Reflective yellow rear plate
• Legal font and character sizing
• British Standard markings
• Supplier name and postcode

If your replacement registration plates meet these legal requirements, they are fully road legal and suitable for use on public roads. Buying from a registered number plate supplier ensures your replacement plates are compliant and legal for display.

Yes, we supply replacement plates for personalised number plates, private number plates and custom registration numbers. If you already own the registration and can provide the correct supporting documents, we can produce replacement reg plates in the same way as standard number plates.

This is ideal if your personalised number plates have become cracked, faded, damaged or worn and need replacing with a fresh, legal set.

As with all replacement number plates, you will need to provide proof of identity and proof of entitlement before we can complete the order. Once approved, your personalised replacement plates are manufactured to legal standards and ready for road use.

Yes, we supply green number plates for eligible electric vehicles. These plates feature a green stripe, sometimes referred to as a green flash, on the left-hand side of the number plate and are designed for fully electric vehicles only.

Green number plates were introduced to help identify electric vehicles and support government initiatives linked to cleaner transport and low-emission driving.

If your vehicle qualifies, we can produce replacement green number plates that include the legal green stripe while remaining fully compliant with UK road laws and DVLA standards.

Yes, we supply replacement motorbike number plates in legal sizes and a range of suitable formats. These plates are designed specifically for motorcycles and scooters, using compliant dimensions, legal spacing and durable materials for everyday road use.

We offer:

• Standard motorbike number plates
• Short motorbike plates
• Square motorbike plates

Whether you need a replacement motorbike plate for a cracked rear plate, a damaged motorcycle registration or a fresh new plate for your bike, we can supply a legal replacement built to UK standards.

Replacement metal pressed plates are aluminium number plates made using a pressed metal construction rather than standard acrylic. They are designed to offer a more durable, premium and classic finish while still displaying your registration number clearly and professionally.

These plates are popular for:

• Classic cars
• Vintage vehicles
• Performance cars
• Premium styling

Metal pressed replacement plates offer a more distinctive appearance than acrylic plates and are often chosen for their durability, weather resistance and traditional pressed finish.

Yes, 3D and 4D replacement plates can be road legal, provided they fully comply with UK laws. These plates use raised characters to create a more modern, premium look, but they must still meet all legal requirements for road use.

To remain legal, 3D and 4D replacement plates must still follow rules covering:

• Legal spacing
• Character size
• Character visibility
• Approved black characters
• British Standard compliance

As long as the finished design meets these legal standards, 3D and 4D replacement plates are suitable for road use and offer a stylish alternative to standard acrylic plates.
