DVLA documents we need
Number plate suppliers are legally required to check who you are and that the registration is yours before making a plate. Send us one document from each list below and we'll take care of the rest.
Post your original documents before ordering
Photocopies and scans can't be accepted — we need the originals. Post one document from each list to:
ScooterBox
241 Wellingborough Road
Rushden, Northamptonshire
NN10 9XT
We'll telephone you as soon as they arrive, and your documents are returned to you with your order.
