Fair enough take the right docs with you to Halfords or wherever. I went for a plate knowing you needed your V5 and some ID so off I go with my V5, driving licence, credit cards and my Army ID. Proof of ownership, address, signature and photo ID. Was it acceptable, no it flippin wasn't. Off I go home to get a bank statement for proof of address so the spotty little oik behind the counter can see my finances. Have to bring a passport as my Army ID is no good, obviously fake passports don't happen do they. If I had had one of those photo driving licences that would have done too but why should I pay for a new licence when there is nothing wrong with my old paper one. No-one likes this legislation except the berks who came up with it in the first place. If anyone thinks that it makes a blind bit of difference to criminals at all they want their head examining and a good dose of common sense beaten into them. I need to lie down before I burst an artery.

If you don't have a photo style driving licence or a passport then what is the alternative to getting plates on line or from outside mailand UK?

Oh and another point to remember, if you get a non legal plate from MAL for your car just because you dont want to supply all the correct documents to Halfrauds etc then chances are it will fail its next MOT. Our car failed becasue the BS number was missing from the plate! Thats the only thing it failed on. We just blu tacked the original plates over the top and took it back. Passed no problem.
