FAQs

Do you sell personalised registrations?

Rapid Reg Plates specialises in selling replacement number plates only. When purchasing number plates from our website, you must have the permission of the person who owns the registration. To ensure compliance with DVLA regulations for registered number plate suppliers, we require proof of ownership and identification when you place your order.

How long will it take for me to receive my number plates?

Orders placed before 14:00, Monday through Friday, are dispatched on the same day. Orders placed after this time or on weekends will be processed on the next working day. We offer two postage options:

  • Royal Mail Tracked 48: Usually delivered within 2-3 working days, but it can take up to 5 working days.
  • Royal Mail Tracked 24: Typically delivered the next working day, but it can take up to 2-3 working days.

Please note that Rapid Reg Plates is not responsible for any delays caused by the courier. However, if your order is delayed, we will do our best to resolve the issue promptly.

Will my replacement number plates arrive pre-drilled?

No, replacement number plates are sent without drill holes, as the required positioning can vary by vehicle make and model. The simplest method for attaching your new plates is by using our adhesive sticky pads, eliminating the need for drilling. Alternatively, you can purchase our fixing kit, which includes all necessary screws and caps for secure attachment.

Are you registered with the DVLA to make replacement number plates?

Can I alter the spacing on my new number plates?

It is illegal to use incorrectly spaced number plates, which can result in fines of up to £1,000 and an MOT failure. As a DVLA registered supplier, Rapid Reg Plates ensures that all number plates are printed with the correct legal spacing. Our plate builder automatically corrects any incorrect spacing to comply with legal requirements.

Do you discount for regular, trade, or bulk orders?

For regular or bulk purchases of replacement number plates, please contact us directly. We will do our best to accommodate your needs.

How do I cancel an order?

As number plates are printed shortly after orders are placed, it may not always be possible to cancel once production has started. If you wish to cancel, contact us immediately (preferably within the hour). If the plates have not yet been produced, we will issue a refund.

Do your number plates include your legal details? / Are your number plates road-legal?

All our number plates include the necessary legal markings. This includes “Rapid Reg Plates LE9 7LD” at the bottom center and “BSAU 145e” on the bottom right, ensuring compliance with regulations and easy identification by authorities if needed.

Do you require documentation?

As a DVLA registered supplier, we must verify both your identity and your authorization to use the registration. While this may seem inconvenient, it is essential for ensuring the plates are road legal. Beware of suppliers who do not request these documents, as their plates may not comply with legal standards.

  • Driving licence

  • Recent utility or Council Tax bill

  • Recent bank or building society statement

  • National identity card

Required documents to confirm your registration:
