Motorists are being urged to act by DVLA
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency has issued a "don't miss out" alert to millions of UK motorists. The government department creates and manages driving record, issues licences, and more.
In a new post on X, formerly Twitter, DVLA urged UK drivers to "sign up". The post reads: Don’t miss out on the latest updates from DVLA – sign up to our email alerts today! You can subscribe to a range of topics, from digital services to general news." The alert comes after an earlier update this week, with drivers told they must act in any of three circumstances. DVLA shared a list of "acceptable" documents people can use to prove they can use their registration number if they need to get a new number plate.
This would be the case if your number plate was lost, damaged or stolen, if you are importing a car to the UK, or if you've purchased a personalised registration number. You can find a registered number plate supplier here, and a list of acceptable documents here Anyone found to be driving without a valid number plate, or with one that is broken to the point that its characters are not clearly visible and readable, is likely to be stopped by the police. Gov.uk guidance adds: "You could be fined up to £1,000 and your vehicle will fail its MOT test if you drive with incorrectly displayed number plates."
