If your number plate is cracked, broken or difficult to read, it’s time to look into replacement number plates. By law, your number plate should be clearly visible, and you could be fined or fail your MOT if your plate is unreadable.

If you need a last-minute replacement, we can help – drop into your local store with your car registration details and proof of address, and we’ll create your new plate while you wait. Find out how to order your plates from your closest Euro Car Parts store today.

When should I replace my number plate?

There’s a few
different reasons why your registration plate might need to be replaced:

  • Your plate is cracked or weathered
  • Your number plate has fallen off or been stolen
  • You’ve purchased a
    DVLA-registered private plate
  • You need an additional
    plate for your trailer

Our
number plates are created with black 2D digits in the correct number plate
format as standard, in oblong or EV plates.

What will I need to bring with me?

By law, we’ll need to see documentation that shows you own your car before you can swap out your old plates for new ones. You’ll need to show proof of address and identity, and proof of entitlement; without a V5C, we won’t be able to create your plates.

Bring any of the
following documents into your local store (you’ll need one ‘proof of identity’
document and one ‘proof of entitlement’ document), and we’ll create your
replacement plates while you wait.

Proof of identity

  • Driving
    licence
  • Bank
    statement from the last six months
  • Utility
    bills from the last six months (like your phone or council tax bill)
  • Passport
  • National
    ID card
  • Debit
    or credit card

Proof of entitlement

  • A
    Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C)
  • The
    tear-off slip (V5C/2) from (V5C section 10)

Replacement number plates FAQs

Can I drive my car while I’m waiting for a new number plate?

It’s illegal to
drive your car without a valid, DVLA-registered number plate. You could risk a
fine, MOT failure or points on your licence if you drive without any plates.

Can I drive with my number plate in the windscreen?

No. Your number
plate should be fixed to the exterior of your vehicle, so it’s clearly visible
while you’re driving, without any reflections from your windscreen.

How long does it take to replace a number plate?

It takes around 30
minutes from when you get to the counter to create your new number plate
in-store, so you can drive away in no time.

Can I replace a motorbike plate?

We are currently
unable to create motorbike plates or unregistered plates. Your car must be
registered with the DVLA to be eligible for new plates with Euro Car Parts.
