PL8 UK LTD

Frequently Asked Questions.

What time can i collect until?

As long as you have ordered and paid online before 4pm you will be able to collect your plates until 8pm.
 

Can you post the number plates?

In the UK the DVLA states we as number plate suppliers must see original ID in Person and document the evidence. Therefore we can not legally accept documents sent by pictures, photos or by email.

The only way around this at the moment (DVLA are looking to change this) is if you order and pay online then send me the documents in the post by recorded delivery, then we will return them to you also by recorded delivery along with your plates.

However we cannot accept reliability for any loss or damage caused to these documents while in the post.


Why is there some small print on the bottom of my plate?

Its a legal requirement to have the manufacturer's (number plate suppliers) name and postcode on all number plates, 

This isn't our way of advertising.

 

Which Plates / Fonts do you do and are they Legal in the UK?

Standard Length Plates:

2D Standard Print

All of the above are fully road legal in the UK and conform to British Standards BSAU 145e

 

Do we Pre-Drill Holes In our Number Plates?

No, We will supply you with 3 sticky pads which give a cleaner look.

If you require additional pads you can buy them from our shop.
