OUR DOCUMENTATION PROCESS
To comply with DVLA regulations, we must verify proof of entitlement to your registration and a valid form of identification before your plates can be manufactured. Depending on the documents provided, some can be emailed to us, while others may need to be posted to us for verification. This process helps ensure every plate we produce is fully road legal and compliant. Our verification process is safe, simple and fast, so you can order with confidence.
Once your order has been placed, simply email your documents to documents@rolaplates.com. Our team will review them and confirm whether they can be verified electronically or whether the original documents will need to be posted to us.
