DVLA Number Plates

All

registration marks in Great Britain

are issued by

DVLA

and any transfer of them, whether it be from

vehicle to vehicle

,

vehicle to certificate

or

certificate to vehicle

is processed by them.

DVLA

does not manufacture or issue the actual number plates that are fixed to vehicles but they do maintain a database of

number plate suppliers

who must be officially registered by them in order to manufacture or just to supply

number plates

. This is all in an effort to cut down on crime.
