Personalised registration plates

If you would like to change the registration number of your hackney carriage or private hire vehicle you will need to notify us of this.

You will need to provide us with the following items in order to change your registration number:

• The DVLA number plate authorisation certificate for the new registration.
• An updated copy of your motor insurance showing the new registration.
• A copy of the vehicles logbook (V5C) showing the new registration (if you have received this back from the DVLA).
• A copy of the email from the DVLA informing you that the new registration can be put on your vehicle.
• The current plates from your hackney carriage or private hire vehicle.

Please note: you will not be able to use your hackney carriage or private hire vehicle until you have received your new licences and plates.
