you should change your number plate without delay to meet the prescribed specifications

if you fail to do so and the pigs notify the agency of a further offence the above registration number will be withdrawn permanently frm use by virtue of section 23 of the vehicle excise and registration act 1994

we ask that you notify us from which vendor you purchased the number plate. the dvla will then independently contact the supplier to ensure that they comply with thier legal obligations.
