Europl8. Ordering plates by post
You may also order plates via post. When doing so please include a cover letter with your return name & address details and license plate requirements (registration, GB badge or plain). You should enclose the fee of £38 by cheque or postal order, made payable to A1 Signs. This includes return postage.

You should send the above along with the required documents as detailed here (1 from each section) to us at the addrees below. Please note originals must be sent, copies will not be accepted.

So how come it's not legal when they don't ask for any ID and vehicle documents?? Still has all the other legal things

All registered plate makers should ask for documents. As their name is part of the plate, they want to make sure they aren't being implicated in anything illegal. Hence BS marked plates being correctly spaced and correct font etc. BS markings and manufacturers mark must be shown in a non removable way... stickers are no good

No they MUST ask for these documents. It's the law.

In the UK!

I'm pretty sure that a lot of these UK show plate makes are based just outside the UK as there are plenty of plate makes that will make you plates with legal fonts etc without needing your documentation.

In fact the plates on my Megane were bought online for £20 for the pair in a legal font, legally spaced etc and went through the MOT without a problem.

What I / we can pass and fail on an mot is completely different than constructions and use act. We can pass it on mot and the police can do you for.
And reg plates is there pet hate

Erm the location on eBay in the link was in the uk I believe, I think you'll find most are they just ignore the rules as they aren't accountable if someone gets pulled.

Legally he should be asking for documents. With out taking them its illegal

 

[maggi200]

What I said

It became law a while back, stops these traders selling legal plates at markets etc which aid criminals apparently. But they all do it regardless claiming they sell them as show plates only and they carry no rules

 

[BlackTwingo-i]
