Registered number plate suppliers will ask for identity documents and proof you can use the registration number."
The update adds that motorists will need both an identity document and proof that they can use the registration number. Information found on a link DVLA included states you may need to have a number plate made up if, for example, yours has been lost, stolen or damaged, you're important a car to the UK, or if you've purchased a personalised registration number.
