 Since
1st January 2003 all number plate suppliers in England
and Wales are required by law to register their details
with DVLA *. From that date businesses are unable to
trade as number plates suppliers unless they are registered.
Definition:-
A Number Plate Supplier is someone whose business consists
wholly or partly of supplying registration plates i.e.
finished plates that incorporate the registration mark
of a vehicle registered with DVLA *. Manufacturers,
distributors, assemblers, motor factors, motor dealers
and retail outlets including on-line retailers could
fall within the scope of the scheme provided that they
supply the finished product. Motor dealers who refit
their used vehicles for sale with replacement number
plates would be classed as number plate suppliers. If
a business supplies only blank plates or other components
or materials it will not be required to register. People
who manufacture car plates solely for their own use,
rather than supply to third parties, are not within
the scope of the legislation e.g. a fleet operator who
assembles plates and fits them only to vehicles in his
fleet. As he does not supply the registration marks,
he is not a supplier for the purposes of the legislation.
However, if the business supplies number plates for
any other purpose eg for an employee's private use,
it is regarded as a Number Plate Supplier.
Those exempt include :
-
Number Plate Suppliers who only supply plates
for newly registered vehicles.
-
Registration Marks suppliers who do not sell plates
in England and Wales.
-
Manufacturers of number plate components who do
not sell complete plates.
-
Businesses that assemble plates for their own
use or fit them to their own vehicles but do not
supply them to anyone else. (A motor trader who
fits new plates to used vehicles to sell on is not
exempt because the plates are supplied along with
the vehicle).
